The research activities of the division are concentrated in three areas of biomechanics: 1. FUNDAMENTAL BONE RESEARCH: Both the relation between bone structure and its mechanical properties and the influence of mechanical sollicitation on bone remodelling are investigated. These relations are particularly relevant for the study and comprehension of fracture healing mechanisms and of osteoporosis. The division uses state of the art engineering ...

The main objectives of research within MBFA are: 1. Identification and characterisation of hormone and neurotransmitter receptors. We are especially interested in the difference between agonist- and antagonist- receptor interactions and in the pharmacology of new receptor subclasses. This may contribute to the development of new and more efficient drugs for clinical therapy. 2. Investigation of the mechanisms of receptor regulation by ...

Research in experimental psychology focuses on the functioning and the neuronal basis of cognitive and cognition-related processes, such as language, memory and attention. One builds on scientific knowledge of the theoretical basis of cognition and emotional processes in relation to cognition. This basic knowledge is also related to questions within, for example, social psychology, (experimental) psychopathology or health psychology.

The Radiofarmaceutical Research team aims to develop and apply new radiopharmaceuticals for diagnosis (PET en SPECT) or for radionuclide therapy. The development of radiopharamaceuticals can be subdivided in different steps in which the team has acquired expertise:
- design: structure design of new radiotracers based the target that needs to be visualized and the requitrement for fast and efficient incorporation of the radionuclide ...
