Physiology Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The focus of the Department of Physiology - Immunology is directed towards the application of basic immunological knowledge and molecular biotechnology for the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of human diseases, in particular haematological malignancies and solid tumors. Molecular techniques and tools developed in a research setting are made available for the diagnosis and the follow-up of patients. Studies in pre- clinical animal ...
Immunomodulation in Chronic Inflammatory Diseases Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The research group Immunomodulation in Chronic Inflammatory Diseases
Adaptive Immunology KU Leuven
The research is focused on the cellular and molecular basis of immune tolerance mechanisms and failure. They study genetic basis of immune tolerance through the generation of murine models of disease and the analysis of genetic defects in patients with immune disorders. The laboratory specializes in the study of regulatory T cells, primary immunodeficiencies, diabetes and T cell development.
