Laboratory of Cellular Metabolism and Metabolic Regulation (VIB-KU Leuven) KU Leuven

The Laboratory of Cellular Metabolism and Metabolic Regulation is specifically interested in elucidating general regulatory principles in metabolism, understanding cancer metabolism and its implications for novel therapeutic interventions, and revealing the role of metabolism at the interface of metabolic syndrome disorders and cancer. We use mass spectrometry based metabolic flux analysis and metabolite profiling combined with genetic ...

Cell Metabolism KU Leuven

Responsible

The primary objectives of the lab are 1) to understand the role of peroxisomes and in particular of peroxisomal β-oxidation in diverse tissues and during different stages of life 2) to investigate the pathological mechanisms in peroxisomal diseases which should allow the development of therapies. To approach these questions we generated a series of mouse models with global or cell type selective inactivation of functional peroxisomes or of ...

Laboratory of Angiogenesis and Vascular Metabolism (VIB-KU Leuven) KU Leuven

Responsible

The research group of the Laboratory of Angiogenesis and Neurovascular Link focuses on a central theme, i.e. unraveling the molecular basis of angiogenesis (i.e. the formation of blood vessels) and translating these genetic insights in therapeutic concepts – and, if possible, novel treatments. The group has also broadened its scope of interest to the exciting research avenue of the neurovascular link, illustrating that vessels and nerves have ...

Laboratory of Lipid Metabolism and Cancer KU Leuven

Responsible

The Laboratory of Lipid Metabolism and Cancer focusses on altered lipid metabolism in cancer cells. Using a state-of-the-art mass spectrometry-based lipidomics technology the group has made the intriguing observation that development and progression of cancer is almost invariably accompanied by dramatic changes in the cell’s composition of phospholipids. As phospholipids play a key role in the formation of membranes, which organize numerous ...
