Biomedical MRI KU Leuven
Biomedical MRI: Hydrogen, carbon, fluorine, phophorus and sodium Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy studies of metabolic pathways and kinetics in the liver, the heart and the skeletal muscle; in vivo, in perfused organs and in isolated cells. - Design of multinuclear NMR radiofrequency coils for simultaneous observation of various nuclei. - Signal processing and quantification for accurate determination of metabolite ...
Biomedical Quality Assurance Research Unit KU Leuven
The research unit ‘Biomedical Quality Assurance’ focuses on the longitudinal study of various quality aspects of molecular (genetical) lab research. The research group was at the basis of the elaboration of highly important quality assessement programs for genetic diseases and oncobiomarker tests. The results of several research projects have demonstrated the importance of introducing a quality management system in diagnostic laboratories and ...
Hypertension and Cardiovascular Epidemiology KU Leuven
The Research Unit Hypertension and Cardiovascular Epidemiology (HCVE) coordinated influential clinical trials, published in top-ranking journals, such as the Systolic Hypertension in Europe Trial (Syst-Eur), the Ambulatory blood Pressure monitoring and Treatment of Hypertension trial (APTH) and the Treatment of hypertension based on Home or Office blood Pressure trial (THOP). HCVE led the Data Safety and Monitoring Board of large clinical ...
Laboratory of Cell Stress & Immunity KU Leuven
The Laboratory for Cell Stress & Immunity (CSI) focusses on following research themes: cancer immunology & immunotherapy (e.g. DC vaccines, immune-checkpoint blockers, chemo-immunotherapy), immunology of cancer cell death (e.g. programmed cell death like apoptosis, necrosis & necroptosis; stress responses, inflammation, immunity), stress or therapy-elicited immune-signalling pathways (e.g. type I interferons, NFkB signalling, ...
Surgical Oncology KU Leuven
There are four main topics of research which are closely related to major areas of clinical work. 1. Identifying prognostic and predictive biomarkers in breast cancer patients. 2. Molecular annotation of somatic mutations in sarcoma and the discovery and validation of genetic biomarkers and establishing cell lines and tumor xenografts. 3. Genetic polymorphism in melanoma; vitamin D and malignant melanoma; characterization of tumor response to ...
