Laboratory for Muscle Diseases and Neuropathies
The topic of my research group is focused on neuromuscular disorders, in particular on muscle diseases (both acquired and hereditary muscle diseases). My research comprises very distinct aspects of these diseases: clinical, genetic, histopathological, neurophysiological and imaging studies and genotype-phenotype correlations, as well as pathophysiological studies to understand the ...
Laboratory for the Research of Neurodegenerative Diseases (VIB-KUÂ Leuven) KU Leuven
The Laboratory for the Research of Neurodegenerative Diseases performes research into the fundamental molecular processes that underlay neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Their work has also contributed to insights into general physiologically mechanisms, in particular, the understanding of regulated intramembrane proteolysis as an important signaling mechanism in health and disease. They have demonstrated the ...
