Organisations
Theory and Spectroscopy of Molecules and Materials (TSM²) University of Antwerp
Center of Molecular and Materials Modelling Hasselt University
Research activities in the group of "Theoretical Chemistry and Molecular Modelling" aim at linking domains of relevance in physical chemistry, chemical physics, and material research, such as:
- polymer physics and surfaces;
- electron structure theory of neutral and ionized molecules (anions, cations), clusters or radicals;
- advanced ionization spectroscopy (photoelectron spectroscopies [XPS, UPS, Synchrotron], Electron ...
Biophysics and Biomedical Physics University of Antwerp
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 ...
Quantum Chemistry and Physical Chemistry KU Leuven
The methods of quantum mechanics are applied to the study of a wide variety of organic, biological and inorganic compounds. Molecular structure, reactivity and properties are predicted on the basis of theoretical calculations. Due to constant improvements in computer power, and to more and more efficient algorithms, the predictions that can be made are frequently competitive in terms of accuracy with experimental measurements. Computations ...
Materials Chemistry Hasselt University
The research group "Materials Chemistry" (MATCHEM) focuses on the synthesis, characterization and application of advanced functional materials. The group encompasses several expertise groups with specific and complementary expertise, closely collaborating and operating within the spearhead research domains of the Institute for Materials Research (IMO) of Hasselt University. The group is also linked to the IMEC associated laboratory 'IMOMEC'. ...

Research Group for Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation KU Leuven
The aim of the Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation research group (MSR) is to advance the evaluation and therapeutic intervention for musculoskeletal disorders of different target populations including (elite) athletes, people with spinal pain, and the frail elderly. The applied and translational research of the MSR group contributes in particular to the understanding of neuromuscular and proprioceptive control of human posture and movement in ...
