Molecular and Physical Plant Physiology Hasselt University
To assess the role played by the endogenous hormone balance on developmental processes, physiological responses are studied of plants, that has been genetically transformed and are characterized by an increased or decreased endogenous cytokinin content. Several plants, each characterized by a specific transformed genetic construction are used. The effect of the transformation (cytokinine- and CKX-plants) is studied on plant development, ...

Developmental Psychiatry KU Leuven
Research focuses on the perceptual, cognitive, socio-affective, neural and genetic determinants of neurodevelopmental disorders and child psychiatric conditions (ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder). Translational research comprises the development of diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic strategies, improvement of the transition from child to adult mental health care, and the implementation of Routine Outcome Measurement in the forensic ...
Laboratory of Stem Cell and Developmental Neurobiology (VIB-KUÂ Leuven) KU Leuven
We want to force a breakthrough in the cure of neuronal and neurodegenerative disorders. This requires a deep understanding of normal brain function and translation of this knowledge into a solid mechanistic understanding of disease mechanisms.
Laboratory of Behavioral and Developmental Genetics KU Leuven
The Laboratory of Behavioral and Developmental Genetics researches Gene circuits in Drosophila brain development as models for human neurodevelopmental disorders from transcription factors to effector genes and signaling pathways.
The long-term objectives of their research comprise:
- the determination of the complexity of gene circuits required for neuronal identity and connectivity,
- the analysis of the relationship ...
Laboratory for Biological Psychology KU Leuven
Research topics of this unit are:
• relationship between brains and behavior
• biopsychological mechanisms of neural and behavioral plasticity
• learning and memory
• neurocognitive disorders

Comparative Perinatal Development (CoPeD) University of Antwerp
Cell Genetics Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The laboratory for Cell Genetics (Cytogenetics) studies variation in genotype and phenotype, cell division pathways, cell death and genetic changes relevant for the increase of cancer in human. Genotoxicity tests assess the induction of DNA damage, gene mutations, structural and numerical chromosome aberrations. Their predictivity for cancer induction is supported by international studies relating mutations and activation of cancer related ...
