Fundamental research with direct practical application in diverse fields of forensic odontology is performed. Mainly age estimation and uniqueness of the human dentition and teeth are studied.
In particular aspects of dental and skeletal age estimation based on radiographic and magnetic resonance imaging are considered. In addition, the research on the uniqueness of the dentition and the teeth is established in a function of bite mark ...
The Research Unit Hypertension and Cardiovascular Epidemiology (HCVE) coordinated influential clinical trials, published in top-ranking journals, such as the Systolic Hypertension in Europe Trial (Syst-Eur), the Ambulatory blood Pressure monitoring and Treatment of Hypertension trial (APTH) and the Treatment of hypertension based on Home or Office blood Pressure trial (THOP). HCVE led the Data Safety and Monitoring Board of large clinical ...
This unit is part of the Research Group Molecular Neurobiology who largely encompasses the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research. The 240 researchers in this group study the molecular pathways of neuronal disease with the aim of identifying novel therapeutic targets. Major research questions focus on cell type vulnerability and single-cell heterogeneity, protein aggregation and proteopathic stress, synaptic function, as ...
The overall aim of the research of the Laboratory of Translational Genetics, is to unravel the genetic predisposition to cancer and to annotate somatic changes in solid tumors with the ultimate aim to discover and functionally validate genetic biomarkers for cancer therapies.
Based in Brussels, LOCI assembles scholars and actors from various disciplines (educational sciences, philosophy, mathematics, human ecology, biology, anthropology, …) and from various countries around the world. As a multidisciplinary research group and an open knowledge network, LOCI directly engages with challenges and opportunities in the realm of development through intense collaboration with both global drivers for change such as the ...
The Movement Control & Neuroplasticity Research Group consists of the following two reseach units, each with their own research focus:
1) The primary focus of Motor Control Laboratory is to understand the principles underlying control of human movement with special emphasis on coordination and cognitively demanding motor tasks in association with sensory processing. Furthermore, we have developed a long-standing interest in skill ...
Within the research group, mainly clinical research will be conducted within the dental clinic. The emphasis will be on therapeutic aspects within the various disciplines (periodontology, oral implantology, restorative dentistry, orthodontics) and on the other hand patient-centered outcomes. The measurement of patient experience after therapeutic intervention is proposed as a cross-sectional research line.
