Stijn Germonpré

Currently, I am pursuing a PhD at UGent in the XStruct research group, working on the development of nanozymes—nanomaterials with enzyme-like activity. My focus is on using MOF-801 as a base to design hybrid structures capable of hydrolyzing peptide bonds, aiming to replace traditional enzymes in proteomics workflows.

I worked as a research assistant at UGent, focusing on crystallography-based research involving cyclodextrin MOFs. I mentored a master's student whose thesis scored 16/20, and conducted external DSC and SC-XRD measurements for the COST BEST-CS initiative.
