Research in the Laboratory for Thrombosis Research (Karen Vanhoorelbeke, Simon De Meyer, Hans Deckmyn) at the Kulak campus of KU Leuven focuses on the molecular mechanisms by which the hemostatic proteins von Willebrand factor (VWF) and its cleaving enzyme ADAMTS13 contribute to health and disease. We perform fundamental research to understand the role of VWF and ADAMTS13 in hemostasis, bleeding, ...
Organic Chemistry Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Peptides are naturally occurring molecules composed of a small number of amino acids. They control many vital functions in the organism, such as blood pressure, pain, memory, appetite, growth, ..., which make them very interesting as potential therapeutics. However, their rapid degradation and their poor oral bioavailability limits their application as drugs. Our team develops methods to make these active peptides more stable, so that their ...
Polymer Chemistry and Materials KU Leuven
Our research focuses on 3 societal relevant material classes: biobased polymeric materials, materials based on conjugated polymers and nano-engineered polymer materials.
General and Biological Chemistry Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The research unit ABIS mainly develops research on: 1. Fundamental study of the biophysical and biochemical properties of the human skin; 2. Objective and quantitative evaluation of some fundamental properties of the skin; 3. Objective evaluation of the efficiency of various dermato-cosmetic ingredients and dermato-cosmetic treatments on the human skin; 4. The use of hydro- and lipo-soluble plant extracts as active ingredients in ...
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 ...
