Laboratory for RNA Cancer Biology KU Leuven
Laboratory for RNA Cancer Biology is a division of the Department of Oncology that fosters synergy in innovative oncological research. By creating a close link between bed and bench and by capitalizing on advanced technologies, our researchers aim to unravel key molecular mechanisms underlying the development and progression of cancer and to maximize opportunities to translate these findings into better clinical biomarkers, adaptive ...
Laboratory of Growth Control and Cancer Research (VIB-KUÂ Leuven) KU Leuven
The Laboratory of Growth Control and Cancer Research conducts reasearch on the mechanisms that control organ size. Currently they focus on three main topics: 1) How mechanical forces regulate cellular behavior and the Hippo pathway, 2) The regulation of cell competition and the role of the Hippo pathway therein, and 3) The role of the Hippo pathway in cancer cell dormancy. These three projects are highly related and interconnected and aim at ...
Laboratory of Molecular Bacteriology (Rega Institute) KU Leuven
1.Streptomyces as host for heterologous protein production. It has aldready proven that Streptomyces is a good choice for heterologous protein production and can be an invaluable host for eukaryotic proteins. Some of these heterologous proteins are secreted as biologically active compounds in commercially significant yield using expression/secretion signals we have isolated (EP0851931A), they can easily be purified and have the same ...
Laboratory of Tumor Inflammation and Angiogenesis (VIB-KUÂ Leuven) KU Leuven
The Lab of Molecular Oncology and Angiogenesis aims to shed light on the genetic and molecular mechanisms that regulate vessel shape remodeling and endothelial cell fate, with the overall aim of defining alternative therapeutic opportunities to improve anti-cancer therapy, as well as therapeutic angiogenesis for revascularization of ischemic tissues.
Theragnostic Laboratory KU Leuven
The Theragnostic Laboratory is based on a unique platforms with animal models of relevant pathologies and uses imaging techniques as major experimental tools. The main focus is on original and translational research to find diagnostic and therapeutic solutions for life-threatening disorders such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases. The research group also trains graduate students and provides services to third parties. There is a close ...
Toxicology and Pharmacology KU Leuven
The lab of Toxicology and Pharmacology consists of two main research fields: Forensic Toxicology and Drug Discovery and Pharmacology.
The research objectives of Forensic Toxicology are focused on optimization of analytical detection methods/tools and volatile decomposition detection. The main practice of this subdivision is its service in juridical dossiers as expertise and investigation center at the request of the Ministry of ...
