Reproductive immunology and implantation Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The Research Group Reproductive Immunology and Implantation aims to study different aspects of implantation of a human embryo and, more specifically, the interaction between the endometrium and the embryo which leads to a successful implantation in natural and stimulated cycles for IVF.
Thoracic Surgery KU Leuven
In this project, we investigate the possibility to transplant lungs from donors after circulatory arrest. In a rabbit lung model, we look for biochemical, morphological and functional evidence that postmortem cooling, ventilation or inflation may be beneficial for lung viability in the absence of perfusion.
