Evolutionary ecology group (EVECO) University of Antwerp

Responsible
The Evolutionary Biology Group has two main lines of research: A) Evolutionary processes that affect biodiversity. The evolutionary relationships between different taxonomic units are studied through the analysis of morphological and molecular variation. Together with data on geographic distributions in time and space, hypotheses about diversification (speciation) and their implications for conservation and biodiversity are formulated. The ...

Biology Ghent University

Responsible
The Biology Department plays a pivotal role in the education of biology students by offering courses in a wide range of biological disciplines, centred around Ecology Evolution Functional Biology Biodiversity. The single Bachelor and various Master’s programmes place the organism in the focus, whether considered as a member of a species (Biodiversity), as an interacting partner with its environment (Ecology), as the result of an evolutionary ...

Behavioural Biology University of Antwerp

Our research focuses on social behavioural mechanisms in mammals, especially humans. The core question is always an evolutionary one: In what why is behaviour an evolutionary adaptation? In human behaviour we emphasize on the analysis of communication of emotions, both the production of signals as their perception. The influence of testosterone on emotional behaviour is investigated. We also inquire into the appropriateness of the hypothesis ...

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.

Biology Vrije Universiteit Brussel

The three main research orientations of the department are: molecular biology, human biology and environment. The project focus on the following areas: 1. Parasitology; 2. Immunology and cancer therapy; 3. Development biology; 4. Environmental genetics; 5. Bio-diversity and plant genetics/engineering; 6. Nature conservation; 7. Marine and terrestrial ecology; 8. Mangroves preservation; 9. Eco-(geno) toxicity.

Laboratory for RNA Cancer Biology KU Leuven

Responsible

Laboratory for RNA Cancer Biology is a division of the Department of Oncology that fosters synergy in innovative oncological research. By creating a close link between bed and bench and by capitalizing on advanced technologies, our researchers aim to unravel key molecular mechanisms underlying the development and progression of cancer and to maximize opportunities to translate these findings into better clinical biomarkers, adaptive ...

Laboratory for Human Evolutionary Genetics KU Leuven

Responsible

Our research group is interested in human evolution and evolutionary population genetics in the broadest sense. We work on questions relating global genetic population structure with evolutionary processes such as selection, drift, migrations and admixture. We use evidence from modern and ancient genomes to study genetic changes taking place over time and space.

Zoology: Biodiversity and Toxicology Hasselt University

Responsible

Invertebrates, and especially freeliving flatworms (Platyhelminthes) are the subject of several research topics:
1. Biodiversity (incl. cryptic biodiversity)
2. Phylogeny and phylogeography based on morphological and molecular markers
3. Effects of pollution (especially heavy metals) on several aspects of the biology of turbellaria: regeneration and stem cell dynamics, life history-parameters, morphology,...
4. Study of ...
