Hans Nauwynck is born on May 2nd, 1963 in Torhout, Belgium. He graduated as Doctor in Veterinary Medicine in 1987 at Ghent University. In 1993, he got his PhD degree, Doctor in Veterinary Sciences and became nominated as assistant professor at Ghent University. Afterwards, he promoted to associate professor in 1999 and full professor in 2004. In 2004, he took the lead of the Laboratory of Virology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Ghent University and became Diplomate at the European College of Pig Health Management. At present, he lectures several courses on viral diseases in mammals. His research focuses on cellular and molecular pathogenesis of viral diseases in man and animal, with special emphasis on the entry of the virus in its host cell, the invasion of the virus in its host through barriers, via leukocytes and along neurons and the escape of the virus from immunity. Better insights lead to research-driven development of new generation treatments and vaccines. He is author of 285 papers and several patents and is a frequent speaker during international veterinary and virology congresses. At present, his staff consists of 25 PhD students, 4 post-docs and 14 technicians.

Hans Nauwynck: understanding viruses from the cell to the farm

Hans Nauwynck H. Nauwynck

Hans Nauwynck defines himself as a veterinary virologist, a person who works in a laboratory setting, doing precise work, like a surgeon, aiming to gain a better understanding of how animal viruses interact with their target cells. But it is much more. His deep understanding of the biological behavior of viruses allows him to fluently explain many of the “whys” that are so important for a better understading of the pathogenesis of viral diseases and the development of effective control strategies.

Hans Nauwynck: what is driving PCV2 evolution?

Hans Nauwynck H. Nauwynck

Professor Nauwynck has been researching PCV2 virus since the emergence of PCV2-associated diseases. PCV2 caused a serious crisis in global swine health that was ultimately addressed through the development and mass deployment of effective PCV2 vaccines. He is an excellent connoisseur of this small virus that continues to surprise us.
