Organisations
Experimental Pathology Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The EXPA research group brings together the clinical-pathological expertise of Prof. Ramses Forsyth and the more fundamental histopathologically oriented expertise of Prof. Peter in't Veld, thereby restoring the traditional interaction between a clinical UZ department and the Faculty in this (translational) biomedical research important domain. It will serve not only as a core facility for histopathology, but also as a platform for developing ...

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 ...
Center for Oncological Research (CORE) University of Antwerp
Department of Imaging & Pathology KU Leuven
The Department of Imaging & Pathology conducts bidirectional research in imaging and pathology, with an aim to translate these new insights into better diagnostic and therapeutic applications with a definite social and economical endpoint. Major areas of research are: Multimodal morphological, functional and molecular cardiac imaging and neuro-imaging - Cell tracking and stem cell imaging - Total body imaging in oncology - Radiotracer ...
Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Transplantation KU Leuven
The Department of Microbiology and Immunology focuses on the study, prevention and treatment of important diseases caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites, the study of the complex host-microbiome interaction, and the study of the host immune system in infections, cancer, kidney diseases, autoimmunity, allergy and organ transplantation

Diabetes Pathology & Therapy Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Our unit develops knowledge, methods and strategies for early diagnonis, prevention and treatment of diabetes. This objective is addressed through projects that integrate basic research, preclinical development and clinical trials, and benefit from a multidisciplinary expertise in the fields of cell biology and pathology, animal models of disease and therapy, clinical biology and diabetology. A Functional Cytomics Core BioBank stores human ...
Gynaecological Oncology KU Leuven
The research in the Gynaecological Oncology laboratory covers 4 major fields:
Cancer and pregnancy. Our focus is on the continued long term follow up of children who were prenatally exposed to chemotherapy. In this framework, we are performing in vitrotransplacental studies. We also have a special interest in breast cancer during pregnancy. Research in both fields is performed in an international and interdisciplinary setting. ...
Laboratory for Genetics of Malignant Disorders KU Leuven
The discovery and functional characterization of new, recurrent cytogenetic or molecular aberrations in malignant disorders are the most important research objectives of the laboratory for Genetics of Malignant Disorders. These research objectives connect almost seamlessly with the diagnostic, cytogenetic and molecular services which CME-UZ offers for nearly each malignant pathology: acute and chronic leukaemia, lymphomas, mesenchymal and ...
