Medical Genetics Vrije Universiteit Brussel

The research group Reproduction and Genetics (REGE) is part of the research cluster Reproduction Genetics and Regenerative Medicine. Its research focuses on different aspects of human genetics, reproduction, early development and stem cells

Historically, the group has been interested in metabolic diseases such as lysosomal storage diseases and this has led to the close collaboration of S. Seneca with the ...

Medical Genetics (MEDGEN) University of Antwerp

The research group concentrates on 3 major topics: the development of hereditary bone tumors, the genetics of Adams-Oliver syndrome and the development of new molecular diagnostic tests for hereditary disorders. 1) Development of hereditary bone tumors (multiple osteochondromas). Osteochondromas are the most frequent hereditary bone tumors in children. Multiple osteochondromas (MO) is an autosomal dominant disorder charakterized by many ...

Medical Genetics (MEDGEN) University of Antwerp

Responsible
MEDGEN is an interfaculty research team (FGGW and FBD and Center of Excellence at the University of Antwerp. MEDGEN aims to identify the genetic causes and underlying pathogenetic mechanisms of both common and rare constitutional genetic disorders affecting the cardiovascular, sensorial, neurodevelopmental, skeletal and adipose system. In addition, the unravelling of the pathogenic mechanisms underlying different types of cancer are aimed at. ...

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 ...

Medical Helminthology Institute of Tropical Medicine

Introduction

The Unit of Helminthology, housing both Medical and Veterinary Helminthology, is led by Prof K. Polman, epidemiologist/parasitologist. We are dedicated to improving the lives of neglected populations affected by helminthiases. Our aim is to understand the dynamics and interactions of helminth infections at the interface between humans, animals and their broader natural and social environments, and to ...

Medical Imaging Vrije Universiteit Brussel

In the area of medical magnetic resonance (MR) imaging our research focuses on two main topics: diffusion imaging and susceptibility imaging. Diffusion imaging. Magnetic resonance images can be sensitized to the brownian motion (diffusion) of the water molecules in the biological tissue under study. The microscopic composition and structure of the tissues have a drastic effect on the brownian motion and, hence, on the diffusion weighted ...

Medical Imaging Vrije Universiteit Brussel

The group Molecular Imaging (MIMA): 1. In Vivo Cellular and Molecular Imaging (ICMI) 2. Radiology (RADI) 3. Nuclear Medicine (NUGE)

Medical Imaging and Physical Sciences Vrije Universiteit Brussel

The department of 'Imaging and Physical Sciences' consists of the subunits Radiology and Clinical Imaging (RADI), 'Radiotherapy' (KANK), 'Nuclear Medicine' (NUGE). The main research topics for these three subunits are: For Radiology and Clinical Imaging: 1. Diffusion and perfusion magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and their application to the characterisation of healthy and pathologic tissues; 2. Susceptibility MR imaging of trabecular bone and ...

Medical Informatics Vrije Universiteit Brussel

The Medical Informatics team in the UZ Brussels is an innovative service. We researched the Clinical Workstation (KWS) to improve the way in which user processes in the medical sector and the UZ Brussels are carried out in particular, using new alternatives that ICT offers us. That's reflected in our mission: translating medical and medical-administrative processes into directly applicable ICT solutions based on state-of-the-art technologies ...
