Neuro-Aging & Viro-Immunotherapy Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The ‘Neuro-Aging’ team focuses on glutamate transport, with emphasis on system xc - , in health and disease. We have ongoing projects on the role of system xc - or the cystine/glutamate antiporter in e.g. Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and (central effects of) (pancreatic) cancer. In most of these projects, neuroimmune communication is receiving increasing attention. Our overall hypothesis that inhibition of system xc - might be a ...
Bio-Imaging lab University of Antwerp
Neurosciences Hasselt University
The Neuroscience research group focuses on fundamental, translational and clinical research to gain insight in the (sub-)cellular mechanisms and pathogenetic processes of neurological disorders of the central or peripheral nervous system. These diseases include disorders related to neuronal development, disorders related to the enteric nervous system and neurodegenerative disorders. A 'bench-to-bedside' approach is used in which clinically ...

Neurosurgery Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The Neurosurgery specialism treats afflictions of the nervous system, the cranium and the spine. In adults, neurosurgery focuses mainly on the treatment of tumours, cranial trauma, brain haemorrhages, abnormal movements, pain or hormonal dysfunction of the Hypophysis. The service has expertise in the disease Von Hippel-Lindau.
Materials Physics Hasselt University
The Materials Physics (IMOMAF) research group focuses on developing innovative solutions to successfully bridge the gap between fundamental research and industrially compatible materials systems and processes. This is done in a wide range of fields, from nano and quantum physics to electronics, advanced sensing, and healthcare materials. Cooperation with industrial partners plays a crucial role in the IMOMAF research group.
