Laboratory for Neuropathology KU Leuven
Laboratory of Neuropathology
The laboratory of Neuropathology focusses on the investigation of the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders, especially Alzheimer's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. By getting novel insights into the pathogenesis of these diseases we hope to find novel therapeutic targets.
We study the pathology of the diseases morphologically and biochemically in autopsy brains from diseased ...
Translational Cell & Tissue Research KU Leuven
Using a large panel of classical morphological techniques incl. enzyme- andimmunohistochemistry, as well as more advanced molecular techniques on tissue sections, we investigate the histology & the function of a variety of human tissues in normal & in pathological conditions.Throughout these research activities we attempt to optimise the available morphological techniques for light microscopy, electron microscopy, incl. transmission ...
Laboratory for Cognitive Neurology KU Leuven
The research of the Laboratory for Cognitive Neurology focuses on cognitive domains selective attention, language and semantic memory.
Switch Laboratory (VIB-KUÂ Leuven) KU Leuven
Our research is focused on understanding the mechanisms gearing protein folding and misfolding and their relation to human disease. In particular we are investigating how protein aggregation affects the cellular interactome by suppressing native interactions but also by introducing novel aggregation-specific interactions. The latter are especially relevant as they are usually associated to gain of function activities such as neurotoxicity ...

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