Cellular and Molecular Immunology Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The research unit CIMM, founded by Patrick De Baetselier in 1983, initially focused on cellular immunology, mainly in the context of tumour biology. The basic themes were the analysis of immune escape mechanisms as well as the mechanisms involved in the invasive and metastatic behaviour of cancer cells. Since several common points may exist in the ways either cancer cells or parasites evade immune surveillance, cellular interactions involved ...
Biochemistry, Molecular and Structural Biology KU Leuven
Research on four types of functionally active proteins - Copper proteins : hemocyanins (involved in dioxygen binding). - Thiol proteins: metallothioneins (metal detoxication and donation). - Protease inhibitors: alpha -2-macroglobulin homologues. - Regulatory proteins: cytokines (defencesystems against infection). Aim: to determine, after their isolation or possible induction, the composition and the primary to quaternary structure of these ...

Laboratory of Molecular and Cellular Signaling KU Leuven
The main focus of the research of the Laboratory of Molecular and Cellular Signaling is Ca2+ signalling in health and disease. We have a longstanding tradition in the investigation of cellular Ca2+ signalling both in single cells and in cell populations. We have developed a number of state-of-the-art techniques including fluorescence and confocal microscopy, luminescence and fluorescence multiplate reader, flux experiments with 45Ca2+ and a ...
Molecular Virology and Gene Therapy KU Leuven
The division Molecular Virology and Gene Therapy aims at developing novel therapeutics and diagnostics starting from basic research into the molecular cause of disease and employing the most advanced biomedical technologies. Research can be basic, applied or technological; in all cases our research aims at future applications in medicine.
Major disease areas are AIDS and Parkinson's disease. Other interests are gene therapy of cystic ...
