Clinical Pharmacology and Pharmacotherapy KU Leuven
The area of interest of the research group Clinical Pharmacology and Pharmacotherapy is the safe and efficient use of medicinal products – including small molecules, biologicals and vaccines – in humans.
Laboratory of Molecular Biology of Leukemia (VIB-KUÂ Leuven) KU Leuven
The Laboratory of Molecular Biology of Leukemia tries to understand the genetic complexity of leukemia, with the aim to use that information to develop novel treatment strategies.
Leukemia is a genetically complex disease that is characterized by the accumulation of abnormal blood cells. The leukemia cells often harbor chromosomal defects and additional more sublte changes (mutations) in their genome. This information is used for ...
Laboratory of Cell Stress & Immunity KU Leuven
The Laboratory for Cell Stress & Immunity (CSI) focusses on following research themes: cancer immunology & immunotherapy (e.g. DC vaccines, immune-checkpoint blockers, chemo-immunotherapy), immunology of cancer cell death (e.g. programmed cell death like apoptosis, necrosis & necroptosis; stress responses, inflammation, immunity), stress or therapy-elicited immune-signalling pathways (e.g. type I interferons, NFkB signalling, ...
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 ...
