Organisations
Microbiology Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The Research Group of Microbiology performs research in the fields of molecular microbiology and microbial biotechnology. Research aims to contribute to a better understanding of the lifestyle and physiology of a variety of microorganisms (archaea, bacteria, fungi, mycorrhiza), with a longstanding expertise in the study of extremophiles. Molecular mechanisms underlying the response of microorganisms to changing environmental conditions ...
Molecular Biotechnology of Plants and Micro-organisms KU Leuven
Molecular Biotechnology of Plants and Micro-organisms
The main fundamental research questions in the MBPM division are related to the elucidation of environmental-induced signal transduction pathways in yeast, pathogenic fungi and plants and how these pathways affect phenotypes such as growth, development (plants), immune priming, stress tolerance, fermentation capacity, morphogenesis and virulence. The fungal groups also use yeast as ...
Crop Biotechnics KU Leuven
The Division of Crop Biotechnics focuses its research and education on sustainable production of agricultural and horticultural products. We employ a variety of biotechnological methodologies to perform fundamental and applied plant research. We integrate knowledge at the cellular, tissue, plant, environment and agro-systems level for both model plants and economically important crops.

Department of Pathobiology, Pharmacology and Zoological Medicine Ghent University
Environmental Biology Hasselt University
The group Enviromental Biology has a longstanding experience (since 1976) in the field of heavy metal uptake by plants, the effects of toxic metal concentrations on plants and the transfer of metals to the food chain. The group was involved in several projects concerning the zinc, cadmium and lead contamination in the region Balen, Lommel, Overpelt in the the zinc smelter contaminated area in the north-east of Belgium. They started with ...

Kenniseenheid groenteteelt onder beschutting PCG-Vegetable Research Centre
PCG is a non-profit organization for applied horticultural research founded in 1977. It is an institution financed by the Flemish government referred to as ‘praktijkcentrum’. The tasks of the institute are to execute application-oriented research, to collect and disperse science-based information, and to perform consulting all with the objective to support the Flemish agro-industry. In 2014, the organization was structured in 4 units: field ...
