About

Professor Piet Cools is a faculty member in the Department of Medical Microbiology at Ghent University, Belgium. His research focuses on microbial identification, bacterial vaginosis, and the dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 antibody responses, particularly in vulnerable populations such as nursing home residents. He has contributed to significant studies on DNA extraction methods, helminth mitochondrial genomes, and the stability of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies.
