VIB CMN - Genetics of Alzheimer’s Disease University of Antwerp

Responsible
The research unit is committed to increase insight in the complex genetics of Alzheimer's disease and to investigate the translational potential of genetic discovery. We use genetic-epidemiological methods and advanced genomic technologies to identify molecular mechanisms that can serve as future targets for early detection, prevention and treatment. Techniques include 2nd and 3rd generation DNA and RNA sequencing on various biomaterials, ...

Laboratory of Gene Regulation and Disease KU Leuven

Responsible

The laboratorium of gene regulation and disease is part of the Department of Human Genetics that conducts cutting edge research and offers an up-to-date educational curriculum within the areas of human genetics and genomics. .

VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research Flanders Institute for Biotechnology

Responsible
The research at the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research (CBD) aims to unravel the basic biological mechanisms of neurobiology and brain disease. CBD researchers pursue these novel findings to solve major medical problems, such as different types of dementia and ALS.

Laboratory for Disease Mechanisms in Cancer KU Leuven

Responsible

The Laboratory for Disease Mechanisms in Cancer conducts research into the link between the ribosome and cancer. The research questionson wich the laboratory focuses are:

1) What is the spectrum of acquired ribosome defects in cancer?

2) By what mechanisms do ribosome defects promote cancer?

3) Are ribosome defects therapeutically relevant?

Vaccine & Infectious Disease Institute (VAXINFECTIO) University of Antwerp

Integrated vaccine and microbiological research with a focus on increasing the understanding of the immune response in prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines (including tumour vaccines) and on the containment of antibiotic resistance. - Development of point of care diagnostic systems - Therapeutic and/or preventive (personalized) health care - Applied research with human vaccines - Research for surrogate biomerkers - Biobanking - Development of ...

Laboratory of Neuronal Differentiation (VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research) KU Leuven

The Laboratory of Neuronal Differentiation conducts research into four research lines:

  • On the establishment of neuronal polarity.
  • On the maintenance of neuronal polarity.
  • On the role of membrane lipids in late life defects: involvement in death/survival signaling during neuronal ageing.
  • On the search for g-Secretase Activity modulators: the usefulness of Drosophila melanogaster genetics.

Laboratory for the Research of Neurodegenerative Diseases (VIB-KU Leuven) KU Leuven

Responsible

The Laboratory for the Research of Neurodegenerative Diseases performes research into the fundamental molecular processes that underlay neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Their work has also contributed to insights into general physiologically mechanisms, in particular, the understanding of regulated intramembrane proteolysis as an important signaling mechanism in health and disease. They have demonstrated the ...

Cardiovascular diseases (CARDIOVASC) University of Antwerp

Responsible
Currently active lines of resarch are: - Clinical evaluation of percutaneous treatment modalities for structural heart diseases, and prognostic stratification of patients who are candidate for or who are undergoing structural heart interventions (TAVI; MitraClip; …); - Study of ischemia-reperfusion injury during acute myocardial infarction with identification of underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and with the development and the testing of ...
