The Laboratory for Digital Telecommunications and Parallel & Distributed Processing (TELE) started its activities from a background in computer engineering. Two distinct but related topics are covered: Digital Telecommunications and Parallel & Distributed Processing. The research activities are spread over three (sub)teams. The mission is to do practical, "real-world" application oriented research. The typical research innovation ...

The Laboratory for Biochemical Neuroendocrinology conducts research into protein biosynthesis, maturation and trafficking in the (regulated) secretory pathway, in relation to human diseases like diabetes, obesity and autism.

The Laboratory for Neuro- and Psychophysiology investigates neural processes underlying visual cognition, mainly of extrastriate or higher order cortices, of human and non-human primates.

The main tools are single-cell and multiple cell recordings, human and awake monkey fMRI, stimulation and inactivation studies, behavioural studies and modeling.

Particular topics of present interest are animate and inanimate object processing, ...

Research in the Laboratory of Computational Biology is focusing on gene and genome regulation, with applications in Drosophila and cancer, and on integrative genomics, developing computational methods for genomic data integration and analysis of next-generation sequence data.

The Systems Medicine Lab at KU Leuven is part of BIO3, which has pillars in GIGA-R at the University of Liège (Belgium) and in the Center for Human Genetics at KU Leuven (Belgium). BIO3's activities take place at the intersection of Biostatistics, Biomedicine and Bioinformatics. The group leader is Professor Dr. Dr. Kristel Van Steen who is an expert in these areas.

BIO3 has built up a recognized ...

Our scientific interests are to reveal how membrane-associated scaffold proteins and lipids participate in cell signaling and multicellular organization/homeostasis. We provided major contributions to our understanding of the importance of membrane trafficking for the biology of heparan sulfate proteoglycans, the role of phospholipids in the function of PDZ proteins and more recently the molecular mechanisms of exosome biogenesis. Our current ...

The main activity of the research group of Inorganic and Physical Chemistry is the study of environmentally friendly, chemical methods to the synthesis of high-tech, nanostructured inorganic materials.
A water based sol-gel method is developed and optimized successfully for the preparation of ferroelectric, piezoelectric, conductive and dielectric metal oxide powders and thin films (with thicknesses from several hundreds down to a few ...

Modern life science research is a highly multidisciplinary endeavor often requiring the joint analysis of highly heterogeneous data sources, such as large-scale single-cell multi-omics datasets, structured ontology-driven annotations, unstructured published literature and imaging data. Using a holistic approach, one can often detect patterns which provide deeper insights into the biological and/or pathophysiological processes under study. ...
