Molecular and Biochemical Pharmacology Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The main objectives of research within MBFA are: 1. Identification and characterisation of hormone and neurotransmitter receptors. We are especially interested in the difference between agonist- and antagonist- receptor interactions and in the pharmacology of new receptor subclasses. This may contribute to the development of new and more efficient drugs for clinical therapy. 2. Investigation of the mechanisms of receptor regulation by ...
Laboratory of Molecular Endocrinology KU Leuven
The Laboratory of Molecular Endocrinologyis interested in the mechanisms by which androgens regulate transcription in different cell types and how this leads to their effects on fertility, on the prostate, the musculoskeletal system and other organs. We employ biochemical, molecular, cellular, genetic and in vivo approaches to investigate the functions and mechanisms of the androgen receptor in cellular, animal models and humans.

Biocrystallography KU Leuven
The design of new potential drugs is traditionally the domain of the pharmacochemist. In the last decades Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR)-techniques are used more and more to define the 'essential' moieties of a pharmacon. A logical evolution in the search for the relation between the 3D-structure of drugs & their biological activity is the 3D-structure analysis of the biological target molecules and the receptor- ...
Clinical Digestive Oncology KU Leuven
The research group Clinical Digestive Oncology focuses on:
- Clinical research on new treatment modalities with a focus on strategy of treatment sequences and on new drugs, including also radionucleide treatment. The clinical research is also focused towards the multidisciplinary management and multimodal treatment of gastrointestinal tumors.
- Clinical research on optimization of diagnostic modalities including response ...
