Genetic Diversity Research Institute for Nature and Forest

The Genetic Diversity team works largely around these three themes:

(1) the use of genetic research to assess the status of species and populations. This includes research into the genetic connection between populations, the effectiveness of ecological connections, genetic diversity within and between populations, the actual size of populations and their adaptive capacity. With these techniques it is also possible to assign ...

Genetic Diversity Research Institute for Nature and Forest

The genetic code, perhaps better known as DNA, determines all biological diversity on Earth. Variation in DNA affects the ability of populations and species to adapt in a dynamic world. The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) considers genetic diversity as the first of the three levels – genes, species and ecosystems – at which biodiversity must be preserved. Without genetic diversity, species become extinct and ecosystems collapse. The ...

Laboratory for Genetic Epidemiology KU Leuven

Responsible

Laboratory of Genetic Epidemiology.

The research in the Laboratory for Genetic Epidemiology focuses on the clinical and genetic characterization of complex developmental disorders, in particular autism spectrum disorders. It concerns the search for new causes and the clinical validation of known genetic risk variants. In addition, in a joint research program with the Department of ESAT-PSI image and speech processing the ...

Forestry Genetic Resources Research Institute for Nature and Forest

In research into the adaptability of trees and shrubs to a changing climate, genetic diversity and sensitivity and tolerance to diseases and pests are important topics. The research method used focuses on the study of phenological processes and growth dynamics. Considerable attention is also paid to cataloguing, classifying, preserving but also making effective use of the many collections of tree and shrub species that INBO has built up over ...

Radiopharmaceutical Research KU Leuven

Responsible

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 ...

Neurogenetics Group University of Antwerp

Many neurodegenerative disorders have a genetic etiology or are complex disorders caused by an interaction between environmental and inherited factors. In our research group we focus on the clinical and genetic aspects of inherited peripheral neuropathies and inherited epilepsy syndromes. The clinical, electrophysiological and neuropathological characterization of patients affected by these disorders forms the starting point for molecular ...
