VIB CMN - Genetics of Alzheimer’s Disease University of Antwerp

Responsible
The research unit is committed to increase insight in the complex genetics of Alzheimer's disease and to investigate the translational potential of genetic discovery. We use genetic-epidemiological methods and advanced genomic technologies to identify molecular mechanisms that can serve as future targets for early detection, prevention and treatment. Techniques include 2nd and 3rd generation DNA and RNA sequencing on various biomaterials, ...

Forest Genetic Resources Research Institute for Nature and Forest

The research team Forest genetic resources focuses its research on the adaptability of trees and shrubs to a changing climate. Important themes include the genetic diversity and the sensitivity and tolerance to pests and diseases. Much attention is paid to the identification, characterization, conservation but also the valorisation of the many collections of trees and shrubs that INBO has built up over the years, with the major goal to ...

Forestry Genetic Resources Research Institute for Nature and Forest

In research into the adaptability of trees and shrubs to a changing climate, genetic diversity and sensitivity and tolerance to diseases and pests are important topics. The research method used focuses on the study of phenological processes and growth dynamics. Considerable attention is also paid to cataloguing, classifying, preserving but also making effective use of the many collections of tree and shrub species that INBO has built up over ...

Laboratory of Gene Regulation and Disease KU Leuven

Responsible

The laboratorium of gene regulation and disease is part of the Department of Human Genetics that conducts cutting edge research and offers an up-to-date educational curriculum within the areas of human genetics and genomics. .

Laboratory for Disease Mechanisms in Cancer KU Leuven

Responsible

The Laboratory for Disease Mechanisms in Cancer conducts research into the link between the ribosome and cancer. The research questionson wich the laboratory focuses are:

1) What is the spectrum of acquired ribosome defects in cancer?

2) By what mechanisms do ribosome defects promote cancer?

3) Are ribosome defects therapeutically relevant?

Laboratory of Neuronal Differentiation (VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research) KU Leuven

The Laboratory of Neuronal Differentiation conducts research into four research lines:

  • On the establishment of neuronal polarity.
  • On the maintenance of neuronal polarity.
  • On the role of membrane lipids in late life defects: involvement in death/survival signaling during neuronal ageing.
  • On the search for g-Secretase Activity modulators: the usefulness of Drosophila melanogaster genetics.

Medical genetics of obesity and skeletal disorders (MGENOS) University of Antwerp

The general aim of the research is to identify genes that are relevant for two multifactorial conditions, osteoporosis and obesity, in order to understand the pathogenesis of these conditions and to reveal novel putative therapeutic targets. In order to obtain this, the specific aims of our work are: - identification of genes for monogenic conditions with an abnormal bone density - identification of genes involved in rat models with an increased ...

Department of Pediatrics and medical genetics Ghent University

The molecular genetic research of hematological malignancies conducted in the Center for Medical Genetics focuses on the identification and analysis of acquired genetic defects in hematological disorders. Over the past years, the Centre for Medical Genetics has acquired an internationally recognised expertise in the genetic analysis of certain inherited diseases and a number of cancers. The various and rapidly growing research teams within the ...

Laboratory of Reproductive Genomics KU Leuven

Responsible

Our group focuses on:

(1) The development of wet-lab and computational methods for single-cell multi-omics analyses –including genome, epigenome and transcriptome analyses of single cells– using microarray and next-generation sequencing technologies. We furthermore automate these methods using customised liquid handling robotics and microfluidics.

(2) The application of these methods to study the nature, rate and mechanisms of ...
