Physiology Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The focus of the Department of Physiology - Immunology is directed towards the application of basic immunological knowledge and molecular biotechnology for the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of human diseases, in particular haematological malignancies and solid tumors. Molecular techniques and tools developed in a research setting are made available for the diagnosis and the follow-up of patients. Studies in pre- clinical animal ...
Plant Genetics Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Research in the Laboratory of Plant Genetics concerns basic plant molecular genetics as well as applied research relevant to the plant biotechnology and agricultural sector. The research is focused on the following themes: · DNA repair and recombination mechanisms and methods to influence these processes. This may lead to development of improved plant breeding techniques, improved plant transformation technology and new techniques for ...
Structural Biology Brussels Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The Structural Biology Brussels Lab, headed by Jan Steyaert was founded by Lode Wyns in the seventies at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and is one of the Flanders Institute for Biotechnology departments. The understanding of the function of a protein, from its structure to its dynamics, remains the central theme of the lab. Our multidisciplinary team of about 40 researchers is housed in new laboratory facilities and combines extensive ...
Structural Biology Brussels Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Structural biology is a central discipline in molecular life sciences, and our Center for Structural Biology (CSB) has been a cornerstone of the research conducted at the VUB and the VIB, first under the leadership of Lode Wyns, and more recently under the guidance of Jan Steyaert and Han Remaut. The Center has made several top-tier discoveries, of which Nanobody technology has been running like a tread through the history of CSB. The centre ...
