Roxane Verdikt, PhD - Outreach and Teaching

Teaching

I have mentored undergraduate/master students since 2015 and PhD candidates since 2019. Supervision involves teaching my students everything I know and letting them grow into independent scientists.
If you are interested in joining my KULeuven research projects and being part of our fantastic team, please reach out!

As of 2025, I am an assistant in practical classes for BA3 Biomedical students (B-KUL-U04D3A). I am also offering a topic in the Scientific Enquiry class in BA2 Medicine (B-KUL-E0I62A) and taught a class on "Epigenetics: from Basic Mechanism to Clinical Application" for BA2 Medicine (B-KUL-E0J31A).

Academic services

I am a reviewer for several scientific journals (Epigenetics, Retrovirology, PLoS ONE, iScience, ...) and I was a guest editor for the Journal of Visualized Experiments. I was a chair and co-organizer of the Beyond Genes virtual conference.

Outreach

Due to lack of time rather than lack of enthusiasm, my recent outreach activities have consisted of written cover-ups for conferences.

· Written cover-up of the conference “Beyond Genes” for the UCLA EpiCenter.

· Written cover-up of the conference “IHEC, Blueprint 2016” for EpiGenie, the online Epigenetics Research Community.
