Laboratory for Translational Breast Cancer Research KU Leuven
Part of the Department of Oncology that fosters synergy in innovative oncological research. By creating a close link between bed and bench and by capitalizing on advanced technologies, our researchers aim to unravel key molecular mechanisms underlying the development and progression of cancer and to maximize opportunities to translate these findings into better clinical biomarkers, adaptive strategies and innovative treatments.
Laboratory of Growth Control and Cancer Research (VIB-KUÂ Leuven) KU Leuven
The Laboratory of Growth Control and Cancer Research conducts reasearch on the mechanisms that control organ size. Currently they focus on three main topics: 1) How mechanical forces regulate cellular behavior and the Hippo pathway, 2) The regulation of cell competition and the role of the Hippo pathway therein, and 3) The role of the Hippo pathway in cancer cell dormancy. These three projects are highly related and interconnected and aim at ...

Brubotics Rehabilitation Research Center Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The Brubotics Rehabilitation Research Center (BRRC) is the new lab of the BruBotics Rehabilitation Research group of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. This lab is a state-of-the-art, interdisciplinary innovation hub that offers human movement analysis and technology-supported rehabilitation research. The BRRC is the result of a longstanding collaboration with different partners of the Brubotics group and is located centrally between the ...
Biomedical Quality Assurance Research Unit KU Leuven
The research unit ‘Biomedical Quality Assurance’ focuses on the longitudinal study of various quality aspects of molecular (genetical) lab research. The research group was at the basis of the elaboration of highly important quality assessement programs for genetic diseases and oncobiomarker tests. The results of several research projects have demonstrated the importance of introducing a quality management system in diagnostic laboratories and ...

Laboratory of Cell Death Research & Therapy (VIB-KUÂ Leuven) KU Leuven
The Laboratory of Cell Death Research & Therapy researches Defective regulation of cell death, especially in the form of apoptosis, contributes to the development of crucial pathologies including cancer and plays a major role in chemoresistance. Mechanisms regulating cancer cell death also affect the emission of ‘danger signals’ from the stressed/dying cells, which critically define their ‘immunogenic character’ and impact the initiation ...
