Laboratory for Neuro- and Psychophysiology KU Leuven
The Laboratory for Neuro- and Psychophysiology investigates neural processes underlying visual cognition, mainly of extrastriate or higher order cortices, of human and non-human primates.
The main tools are single-cell and multiple cell recordings, human and awake monkey fMRI, stimulation and inactivation studies, behavioural studies and modeling.
Particular topics of present interest are animate and inanimate object processing, ...
Analytical Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Technology Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The department consists of two research groups. The main subject of the first (Analytical chemistry) is chemometrics, the application of mathematical and statistical methods to chemical data. This includes both fundamental and more applied work. The fundamental work involves for instance the development of more robust neural networks, variable selection in conjunction with partial least squares or wavelet signal processing that can be applied ...
Assiocated Division ESAT-INSYS (INSYS), Integrated Systems KU Leuven
Development of design methodologies for Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) systems within the application area of digital signal processing. Development of submicron processes and interconnecting techniques supporting the next generation VLSI chips, opto-electronic components, sensors, solar cells. Characterization and reliability techniques. Training of VLSI design and of processing engineerings for industry.
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.

Laboratory for the Research of Neurodegenerative Diseases (VIB-KUÂ Leuven) KU Leuven
The Laboratory for the Research of Neurodegenerative Diseases performes research into the fundamental molecular processes that underlay neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Their work has also contributed to insights into general physiologically mechanisms, in particular, the understanding of regulated intramembrane proteolysis as an important signaling mechanism in health and disease. They have demonstrated the ...
Laboratory of Molecular Bacteriology (Rega Institute) KU Leuven
1.Streptomyces as host for heterologous protein production. It has aldready proven that Streptomyces is a good choice for heterologous protein production and can be an invaluable host for eukaryotic proteins. Some of these heterologous proteins are secreted as biologically active compounds in commercially significant yield using expression/secretion signals we have isolated (EP0851931A), they can easily be purified and have the same ...
Laboratory of Sleep and Synaptic Plasticity (VIB-KUÂ Leuven) KU Leuven
The computational processes of the brain that direct behavior are only possible because of trillions of synaptic connections between billions of neurons and the connections of the brain to the outside world. We try to elucidate how these connections are established and what is the underlying code of synaptic specificity, stability, plasticity and function.
The questions we tackle are how glial support plays a crucial role, how the ...
