Health Psychology KU Leuven
Description research unit:
Biomedical variables generally explain only a part of a person’s experience of health and illness and in many instances a novel approach including social and psychological influences is needed. The KU Leuven Research Group “Health Psychology” aims at unravelling how psychological and somatic variables interact in health and disease from a psycho-bio-social perspective. Both fundamental and applied research is ...
Laboratory for Epilepsy Research KU Leuven
The Laboratory for Epilepsy Research is affiliated with KU Leuven and has a close collaboration with the Reference Center for Refractory Epilepsy of UZ Leuven. Prof dr Wim Van Paesschen is head of both.
Laboratory of Epilepsy Research is currently partner of the SeizeIT project, which aims to develop a small and discrete smartphone-based device, which is able to detect epileptic seizures in the home-based setting of patients with ...
Experimental Pharmacology Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In the research group Experimental Pharmacology the vast majority of scientists are trained in pharmacology and psychopharmacology. Our team has however a nice complementarity between a number of neuroscientists-pharmacologists engaged in preclinical research, a number of analytical experts looking for new sensitive methods for monitoring numerous neuromediators, brain biomarkers and pharmacological read-outs, and a number of colleagues who ...

Analytical, Environmental & Geo-Chemistry Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The scientific approach focuses on the holistic use of biogeochemical tracers, such as elemental concentrations (Cd, Pb, PGE etc.) and isotopic ratios (D/H, 18O/16O, 13C/12C, 15N/14N, 87Sr/88Sr...), - in some cases referred to as "proxies" - that are measured on a substrate (e.g. mineral phase, fossil, mussel-shell, teeth, seawater, phytoplankton, ice cores etc.) to infer specific environmental parameters (such as condition of formation, ...
Electrochemical and Surface Engineering Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The research group of Electrochemical and Surface Engineering -SURF- is the merger between the former research groups 'Metallurgy, Electrochemistry and Materials Science' within the 'Materials and Chemistry' department, META/MACH, and 'Computational Electrochemistry Group' within the 'Electrical Engineering' department, CEG-ETEC. Research revolves around 5 cross-linked areas in electrochemical engineering, (nano) surface engineering and their ...
Educational Centre for Mathematics, Education, Econometrics and Statistics (main work address Brussels) KU Leuven
The Research Centre for Mathematics, Education, Econometrics and Statistics joins staff members who teach courses on mathematics, econometrics or statistics. The research of the group is rather heterogeneous and pertains to domains of mathematics (e.g., differential geometry), education (e.g, strategy choice and strategy development, numerical and mathematical cognition, problem solving, mathematics learning), econometrics (portfolio ...
Forest Ecology and - Management Research Institute for Nature and Forest
The team Forest Ecology and Management studies natural processes and interactions in forest ecosystems, and the effects of forest management hereupon. Emphasis is on long-term research and monitoring. Also scientific advisory work on forest policy and management (e.g. on conservation status and management of Natura2000 forest habitats) makes up an important part of the task.
Main topics of the long-term research are:
- the ...
