Ecosystem Management Research Institute for Nature and Forest
The Ecosystem Management research group focuses on the various aspects of integrated nature conservation and forestry. For example, what can we learn from unmanaged forests and how can natural processes such as wind action, erosion and sedimentation, and herbivory, when combined with focused traditional management techniques, enhance biodiversity in natural areas? What kind of management can ensure that ecosystems function in forests and in ...
Antwerp Systems and software Modelling (AnSyMo) University of Antwerp
Molecular Parasitology Institute of Tropical Medicine
Introduction
MPU explored the diversity of Leishmania and leishmaniases for over 25 years, ‘from genomes to eco-systems’. As such, we have developed a relevant laboratory experience in (i) parasitology and (ii) molecular biology both in the high-tech context of a modern lab and in the working conditions of a laboratory in a tropical context.
Since 2002, the unit is headed by Jean-Claude Dujardin, zoologist (Facultés Notre Dame ...
Industrial Microbiology Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The research group Industrial Microbiology and Food Biotechnology (formerly Industrial Microbiology, Fermentation Technology and Downstream Processing; IMDO) has been created in October 1994. It originates from the subunit of Biochemical Engineering of the Department of Chemical Engineering and Industrial Chemistry. The research theme deals with 'Research and Development for a Healthy Diet'. The establishment of IMDO meant the actual start of ...

Department of Environment Ghent University
Forest, Nature and Landscape KU Leuven
Overall, the research carried out in this laboratory focuses on the spatial and quantitative assessment of biological and man-induced patterns and processes at the landscape and habitat level both in rural, urban and natural settings. We aim at coupling traditional research on forestry, landscape elements, land use, and biotic communities with earth observation, spatial data sciences, the statistical modeling environment, and planning tools. ...
