Ten years ago, I returned from ETH Zurich to launch my own research group thank to the FNRS… a small team with big ambitions to explore the fascinating world of molecular interactions at the single-molecule level.

A decade later, it’s incredible to look back at how far we’ve come. Over these years, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside many brilliant scientists… talented, curious, and creative minds who have shaped the identity and success of the lab. Today, many of them are shining in research institutes and companies all around the world, continuing to push the boundaries of science.

This milestone is not just about time, it’s about the journey, the discoveries, the challenges overcome, and the people who made it all possible.

Here’s to the past 10 years of curiosity, collaboration, and discovery… and to the exciting adventures still ahead!
