Laboratory of Proteolytic Mechanisms in Neurodegeneration (VIB-KUÂ Leuven) KU Leuven
We are interested in generating a quantitative understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying Alzheimer’s disease pathogenicity. Our research is based on the premise that getting a better mechanistic understanding of the function of the molecules involved in familial Alzheimer’s disease (FAD) will offer critical insights into the molecular basis of the disease and open new research avenues leading to innovative and safe strategies to ...

Nuclear Medicine Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Laboratory of Reproductive Genomics KU Leuven
Our group focuses on:
(1) The development of wet-lab and computational methods for single-cell multi-omics analyses –including genome, epigenome and transcriptome analyses of single cells– using microarray and next-generation sequencing technologies. We furthermore automate these methods using customised liquid handling robotics and microfluidics.
(2) The application of these methods to study the nature, rate and mechanisms of ...

The Engineering Materials & Applications (EMAP) research group focuses on developing innovative solutions to successfully bridge the gap between fundamental research and industrially compatible products and processes. This is done in a wide range of fields, from materials physics and chemistry to electronics, electromechanics and electrochemistry. Cooperation with industrial ...
Medical Biochemistry Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Diabetes mellitus is in many cases a disease state of the pancreatic insulin-producing beta cells, which are either destroyed by an auto-immune assault (type 1 diabetes) or fail to produce and secrete sufficient amounts of insulin under different physiological conditions (type 2 diabetes). Reseach performed within the VUB-unit BIOV is situated within the Diabetes Research Centre (DRC) and has as general aim to better understand how normal ...
Laboratory for Medical and Molecular Oncology Vrije Universiteit Brussel
As part of the Oncology Research Center, the Laboratory for Medical & Molecular Oncology (LMMO) at the VUB Faculty of Medicine engages in several major research initiatives: to study pancreatic cancer biology (Prof. Dr. Ilse Rooman), to study cancer immunotherapy including autologous dendritic cell therapies (Prof. Dr. Bart Neyns) and to advance targeted therapies for cancer in genomically defined patients (personalized medicine, ...
