VIB CMN - Microglia and Inflammation in Neurological Disorders (MIND) lab University of Antwerp
Viral Genetics Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The main expertise of the research group GEVI is molecular genetics of bacteria that are pathogenic for plants and animals. This laboratory contributed significantly to the present widespread application of the bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens, as a tool for routine transformation of plants. Agrobacterium- mediated transformation is used by GEVI for the isolation and study of genes involved in plant morphogenesis. In addition, techniques ...

Human molecular genetics University of Antwerp
Plant Genetics Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Research in the Laboratory of Plant Genetics concerns basic plant molecular genetics as well as applied research relevant to the plant biotechnology and agricultural sector. The research is focused on the following themes: · DNA repair and recombination mechanisms and methods to influence these processes. This may lead to development of improved plant breeding techniques, improved plant transformation technology and new techniques for ...
Molecular Immunology (Rega Institute) KU Leuven
This unit operates in close association with the Division of Immunolbiology (A. Billiau). Together these teams investigate the immunobiology of inflammation, auto-immunity and cancer, with emphasis on the role of cytokines (interferons, interleukins, cytotoxins and chemokines) and cellular proteases (plasminigen activators, collgenases, etc.). Projects and milestones in this framework comprise: - Identification in molecular and biological ...
