As part of the Oncology Research Center, the Laboratory for Medical & Molecular Oncology (LMMO) at the VUB Faculty of Medicine engages in several major research initiatives: to study pancreatic cancer biology (Prof. Dr. Ilse Rooman), to study cancer immunotherapy including autologous dendritic cell therapies (Prof. Dr. Bart Neyns) and to advance targeted therapies for cancer in genomically defined patients (personalized medicine, ...

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 ...

The Biostatistics and Medical Informatics department at the medical campus of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel is involved in education and R&D covering the fields of (bio)statistics, medical informatics and E-health.

The members of the team are involved in teaching statistics and computer science mainly in the faculty of medicine and pharmacy of the VUB in Jette. The department coordinates the "master after master in ...

Leuven Health Technology Centre (L-HTC) will focus on technology enhanced active and healthy living. In the L-HTC vision new technology will be developed for active movement in the framework of lifestyle applications, rather than for sport performance applications. This choice is inspired by the societal importance of an active lifestyle for prevention, i.e. for keeping people healthy (primary prevention), reducing risks for chronically ill ...

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 ...

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 ...
