Curriculum Vitae

De Witte Chloë

Dr. Chloë De Witte, PhD, has been a postdoc at the Department of Pathology, Bacteriology and Avian Diseases, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, UGent since 2019. Her research mainly focusses on the pathogenesis of bacterial infections in animals and their zoonotic potential. She has also been collaborating with people from different fields, including research facilities in Flanders and abroad, feed manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, slaughterhouses and human hospitals. Chloë De Witte is promoter of 2 (inter)national PhD students and (co-)author of 10 papers in international peer-reviewed journals. She has been giving multiple presentations at (inter)national conferences, where she obtained four awards for the best presentation. In addition, she presents lectures on bacterial infections of the porcine gastro-intestinal tract for the course ‘Bacterial and fungal infectious diseases and zoonoses’, 1st Master of Veterinary Medicine and actively participates in the practical sessions for the course ‘Bacteriology and Mycology’, 3rd Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine. She is also an active member of the ‘Pre- en postdoctraad’ and ‘Doctoral school council of life science and mecidine’ of UGent as well as the ‘Welzijnsraad’, ‘Duurzaamheidscommissie’ and ‘Diversiteitsteam’ of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. In 2014, Chloë De Witte obtained her Master’s degree in Veterinary Medicine, option Research, with summa cum laude. She also received the price for the best master thesis, option Research and was awarded the price of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine for the best graduation results. In October 2014, Chloë De Witte started her PhD research at the Department of Pathology, Bacteriology and Avian Diseases, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, financed by the Special Research Fund of Ghent University (BOF, 01D20414). This research project focussed on the role of infectious agents in the development of porcine gastric ulceration, a highly prevalent and economic important disease entity of pigs worldwide. In 2019, she successfully obtained her PhD and the certificate of the Doctoral Training Programme of Life Sciences and Medicine in 2019.
