Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Kulak Kortrijk Campus KU Leuven
Our research is aimed at better understanding of the VWF/ADAMTS13/platelet axis in hemostatic, thrombotic and inflammatory processes. We use various in vivo models, combined with intravital microscopy to study molecular and cellular interactions. In particular, we focus on designing novel therapeutic strategies that interfere with von Willebrand factor function for treatment of thrombo-inflammatory disease.

Chemistry Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Academic education and research in chemistry at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel is provided by the Department of Chemistry (DSCH), which is part of the Faculty of Science and Bioengineering. Our department consists of three research groups: the General Chemistry (ALGC), the Organic Chemistry (ORGC) and the Analytical, Environmental and Geochemistry (AMGC). This structure allows us to offer unique undergraduate and two graduate courses in ...
Chemistry, Kulak Kortrijk Campus KU Leuven
Biochemistry, Campus Kulak Kortrijk
Research in the Laboratory for Thrombosis Research (Karen Vanhoorelbeke, Simon De Meyer, Hans Deckmyn) at the Kulak campus of KU Leuven focuses on the molecular mechanisms by which the hemostatic proteins von Willebrand factor (VWF) and its cleaving enzyme ADAMTS13 contribute to health and disease. We perform fundamental research to understand the role of VWF and ADAMTS13 in hemostasis, bleeding, ...
