The research is focused on the cellular and molecular basis of immune tolerance mechanisms and failure. They study genetic basis of immune tolerance through the generation of murine models of disease and the analysis of genetic defects in patients with immune disorders. The laboratory specializes in the study of regulatory T cells, primary immunodeficiencies, diabetes and T cell development.
The common research line of the Alliance for Neuromodulation in Epilepsy (AMIE) research group is preclinical, clinical and translational scientific research in the field of epilepsy and its major comorbidities (ie, anxiety and major depression, learning and memory disorders, brain infarction). The researchers concerned attempt to understand the pathophysiology of epilepsy, characterize cellular and network changes, and consequently develop ...
Anaesthesiology ensures an extensive range of activities in anaesthetics, postoperative care, postoperative care management and chronic pain management.
The AIMS research group grew out of the CIME research unit (not yet recognized as a research group). CIME stands for “cognition and modeling”, and was not abbreviated as COMO because that research group already existed in the Faculty of Science at the time when CIME was founded. CIME is part of NEUR. Given the growth of CIME, and after consultation with the chairman of NEUR, we started with the recognition application as a research group of ...
The Audio-visual Signal Processing (AVSP) Lab investigates novel methods for the automated interpretation of social and affective behaviour. Research areas include social signal processing, multisensor fusion, computer vision, ubiquitous computing, and machine learning. Our expertise is mainly focused on developing automated methods to analyse social signals from verbal and non-verbal behaviour with multiple sensing modalities (e.g. ...
The Brussels University Consultation Center (BRUCC) research group has the central aim to conduct high-quality and relevant applied clinical research within mental healthcare. With our research group we aim to build bridges between VUB researchers and applied clinical partners (e.g. UZ Brussels, Brugmann hospital, CGG’s, CAW’s).
Research within BRUCC is centered around three key topics:
