The center wants to stimulate and carry out research into literature that deliberately deviates from the conventional conventions and is looking for formal renewal. The focus is on authors and texts from symbolism, the historical avant-garde, the neo avant-garde (fifties, nouveau novel, Anderproza) and postmodernism. In addition, attention is also paid to the genres in which the experiment manifests itself, such as the prose light and the ...

* The role of classical (Pavlovian) conditioning in evaluative processes. * Fundamental and applied research on emotional changes, especially with regard to anxiety and pain. * Psycophysiological measurements with computer-assisted data processing.

The department of Experimental anatomy is a basis for fundamental research of topographical, functional and clinical anatomy, polarised around the human body and its body composition. Both dissections (a detailed study of the interior human body) and plastine studies (made of prepared parts of the human body) are elements of every students' contact with anatomy. The research findings (Anatomical variations and detailed mapping experiments) ...

EXTO conducts research in four focused research groups 1) BIPS: Physiology & neuropsychology of sleep, sleeplessness and cognitive performance 2) SOSP: Social cognitive neuroscience The way our brain builds up impressions about other people is a major topic of research at the V.U.B. We make use of the most modern techniques using brain imaging to study this, including ERP and fMRI. 3) COPS: Attention and implicit learning, including: * ...

The Laboratory of Experimental Hematology conducts research into the following topics:

• Molecular characterization of rare lymphomas and identifying molecular subtypes
• Preclinical efficacy studies of new therapies in lymphoma tumors using xenograft models derived from patient samples
• Clinical research on new treatment options and drugs for patients with hematologic malignancies
• Detection of minimal residual ...

The In Vitro Toxicology and Dermato-cosmetology (IVTD) research group of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) constitutes a hub for many promising R&D projects within a broad scientific scope. They all share one common goal, namely an improvement of human health and safety. We achieve this by:

• Developing robust and human-relevant liver-based in vitro models to discriminate between safe and toxic drug candidates, and ...

The EXPA research group brings together the clinical-pathological expertise of Prof. Ramses Forsyth and the more fundamental histopathologically oriented expertise of Prof. Peter in't Veld, thereby restoring the traditional interaction between a clinical UZ department and the Faculty in this (translational) biomedical research important domain. It will serve not only as a core facility for histopathology, but also as a platform for developing ...

The EFAR research group consists of members of three departments within the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (FASC, FARC and MBFA) and was created because of the mutual interest within these groups to study the pharmacological and clinical aspects of bioactive endogenous fragments of the peptide Angiotensin II (Ang II). The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is widely recognised as the most powerful signalling system for controlling sodium balance, ...
