The research unit ‘Biomedical Quality Assurance’ focuses on the longitudinal study of various quality aspects of molecular (genetical) lab research. The research group was at the basis of the elaboration of highly important quality assessement programs for genetic diseases and oncobiomarker tests. The results of several research projects have demonstrated the importance of introducing a quality management system in diagnostic laboratories and ...

The department aims at supplying health care professionals and institutions with the insights, concepts and techniques that will enable them to respond optimally to the health needs and expectations of patient and society. The department endorses the international research and policy priority of ...

The research activities of the Medical Physics and Quality assessment research group include ionizing as well as non-ionizing imaging modalities. Both of them are characterized by a rapid technological development and many new radiological applications.
Our activities focus on modeling of different aspects of the imaging process, optimization of radiological images, the proposal and validation of new data processing and automated quality ...

We conduct research, education, capacity building and policy support in pharmaceutical public health (PPH), an emerging field in global health that aims at analysing and strengthening the pharmaceutical systems.

Our research and capacity building activities are built around the broad theme of access to quality-assured health products, with particular focus on:

• resource-limited settings and fragile health systems, ...

The Unit of Health Policy belongs to the Public Health Department at ITM. The Unit, established in 2013, is led by Professor Wim Van Damme and consists of a multidisciplinary team (medicine, public health, political science, law).

The unit is developing a strong institutional collaboration with the School of Public Health, University of the Western Cape (Cape Town, South Africa), where Wim Van Damme held a SARChI chair ...

The Laboratory of Experimental Radiotherapy conducts studies on a wide aray of subjects such as:

• The modulation of molecular pathways that determine radiation response and their relationship to treatment outcome
• Clinical trials in which the combination of molecular targeted agents with ionizing radiation is being explored
• The identification of novel biomarkers, both molecular and non-invasive imaging ...
