Laboratory of Chemical Biology KU Leuven

Responsible

The Laboratory of Chemical Biology develops and applies small molecule tools that covalently modify proteins according to a certain trait. We particularly focus on molecules named activity-based probes. These react with active enzymes within a whole proteome and enable a read-out by SDS-PAGE, mass spectrometry, fluorescence spectroscopy or microscopy. Besides probe development, we focus on several protease families including the intramembrane ...

VIB-KU Leuven Center for Cancer Biology Flanders Institute for Biotechnology

Responsible
The ambition of the Center for Cancer Biology (CCB) is to contribute to a better understanding of the biology underlying cancer initiation, progression and metastatic dissemination. We aim to identify novel biomarkers for the early detection, monitoring of cancer progression and therapy response and, ultimately, develop more effective anticancer therapies.

VIB-UGent Center for Plant Systems Biology Flanders Institute for Biotechnology

Responsible
The core mission of the VIB-UGent Center for Plant Systems Biology (PSB) is to translate excellence in basic research into benefits for society. Much of the research of PSB is related to sustainability and climate change, and to new technologies that will make it possible to develop agricultural practices in better harmony with the natural environment.

Cell Biology and Histology Vrije Universiteit Brussel

The Department of Cell Biology (CYTO-VUB) is specialized in molecular and cellular liver research, with a main focus on the (patho)biology of hepatic stellate cells and liver progenitor cells. Prof. A. Geerts contributed to the first paper on isolation, purification and culturing of hepatic stellate cells (1) and is the author of a side scatter activated cell sorting method to purify freshly isolated hepatic stellate cell up to 95 - 100% (2). ...

Clinical Biology Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Clinical Biology is a medical specialty which focuses on identifying abnormalities in the blood or other bodily fluids through laboratory testing. The Clinical Biology Lab assists doctors in reaching medical diagnoses, participates in clinical and scientific research and acts as a reference lab. The laboratory forms part of the medical tuition offered by the Medicine and Pharmacy Faculty of the VUB. The Laboratory Index provides a ...

Structural Biology Brussels Vrije Universiteit Brussel

The Structural Biology Brussels Lab, headed by Jan Steyaert was founded by Lode Wyns in the seventies at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and is one of the Flanders Institute for Biotechnology departments. The understanding of the function of a protein, from its structure to its dynamics, remains the central theme of the lab. Our multidisciplinary team of about 40 researchers is housed in new laboratory facilities and combines extensive ...

Department of Biology KU Leuven

Responsible

The research activities of the Biology Department are diverse, and include molecular and physiological studies at cellular and organismal level as well as ecological research focusing on populations, communities and ecosystems. Although many research groups carry out in-depth analyses on specific model organisms, the diversity of life forms studied by the department as a whole is impressive. Our studies are embedded in a dense network of ...
