Rehabilitation and Physiotherapy Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Overview of the main research activities: Pierre Lievens and Philip van der Veen - Edema after mastectomy : In order to optimalise the physical therapy treatment of edema after mastectomy, the existance of new formed lympho-lymphatic anastomosises is searched on animal models; - The influence of physical means on the lymphatic vasomoticity is investigated; - In the field of electrotherapy we are searching for the optimal parameters for ...

VIB CMN - Microglia and Inflammation in Neurological Disorders (MIND) lab University of Antwerp

Responsible
Microglia and neuroinflammation play a central role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. Our primary focus is to examine the underlying molecular mechanisms that drive Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Frontotemporal dementia (FTD), with special focus on inflammatory networks and particularly the contribution of microglia. We use mouse models, iPSC and cutting-edge humanised mouse systems to determine the ...

Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Drug Analysis and Drug Information Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Within the FASC department two research groups are active. The research group « Experimental Neuropharmacology » is involved in in vivo neurochemistry, neuropharmacology and pharmacokinetics in animal models of a number of neurological disorders. The group is particularly interested in Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, focal transient brain ischemia and more recently cognitive decline and depression. The aim is to study the pathophysiological ...

Laboratory for Muscle Diseases and Neuropathies

The topic of my research group is focused on neuromuscular disorders, in particular on muscle diseases (both acquired and hereditary muscle diseases). My research comprises very distinct aspects of these diseases: clinical, genetic, histopathological, neurophysiological and imaging studies and genotype-phenotype correlations, as well as pathophysiological studies to understand the ...

Molecular Imaging and Radiology (MIRA) University of Antwerp

Responsible
The research of MIRA involves following research tracks: 1. Radiotracer development The radiopharmacy team develops and optimizes radiotracers (small molecule based as well as protein and polymer based). This research includes the development of activity based probes and tracer design for imaging of cell death and the tumor microenvironment. Furthermore, they produce research and routine tracers to support the preclinical neuroimaging and ...

Molecular and Biochemical Pharmacology Vrije Universiteit Brussel

The main objectives of research within MBFA are: 1. Identification and characterisation of hormone and neurotransmitter receptors. We are especially interested in the difference between agonist- and antagonist- receptor interactions and in the pharmacology of new receptor subclasses. This may contribute to the development of new and more efficient drugs for clinical therapy. 2. Investigation of the mechanisms of receptor regulation by ...

Neurochemistry and behaviour University of Antwerp

Research at the Rodent Behavioural Research Unit: The Rodent Behavioural Research Unit at the Laboratory of Neurochemistry & Behaviour holds a considerable expertise in the field of behavioural phenotyping of (transgenic) rodent models for human neurological conditions. Behavioural phenotyping is crucially based upon test batteries of behavioural paradigms assessing different brain and behaviour functions. The Research Unit is fully equipped ...

Major areas of research are: central & peripheral nervous system - pathogenesis- diagnosis - treatment - molecular neuroscience - systems neuroscience- cognitive neuroscience - psychiatry - mental disorders - ...

Laboratory of Emotional Circuit Development (VIB-KU Leuven) KU Leuven

This unit is part of the Research Group Molecular Neurobiology who largely encompasses the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research. The 240 researchers in this group study the molecular pathways of neuronal disease with the aim of identifying novel therapeutic targets. Major research questions focus on cell type vulnerability and single-cell heterogeneity, protein aggregation and proteopathic stress, synaptic function, as ...
