Introduction
The Unit of Malariology, led by Prof Rosanas-Urgell, aims to contribute to the development of tools and strategies for better malaria control and elimination. Most of our studies are solidly grounded in field-research and epidemiological studies aiming to provide a bridge between in vitro and in vivo research. We combine state-of-the-art molecular, ‘omic and cell technologies with field-research to study how Plasmodium ...
Introduction
MPU explored the diversity of Leishmania and leishmaniases for over 25 years, ‘from genomes to eco-systems’. As such, we have developed a relevant laboratory experience in (i) parasitology and (ii) molecular biology both in the high-tech context of a modern lab and in the working conditions of a laboratory in a tropical context.
Since 2002, the unit is headed by Jean-Claude Dujardin, zoologist (Facultés Notre Dame ...
The Unit of Mycobacteriology, led by Prof Bouke De Jong, is dedicated to improving the health of patients suffering from mycobacterial diseases such as tuberculosis, leprosy, and Buruli ulcer. We provide diagnostic services for individual patients and challenge current control approaches, aiming at better understanding of mycobacterial diseases and improving patient outcome.
Our research lines include fundamental pathobiology, ...
