Organisations
Forensic Biomedical Sciences KU Leuven
The research of the Forensic Biomedical Sciences group integrates scientific and clinical disciplines within a multidisciplinary program with a focus on forensic genetics, molecular archaeology and forensic medicine.
Inborn Errors of Immunity KU Leuven
Laboratory of Pediatric Immunology has two main research activities: 1) study of allergic diseases with on the one hand upper and lower airway inflammation (in close collaboration with labs of clinical immunology and pneumology) for which we study in house running murine models of allergic asthma and develop of new mouse models for non-allergic asthma, as well as translational research in patients with upper and/or lower airway inflammation ...
Interfaculty Centre for Biomedical Ethics and Law KU Leuven
The activities of the Centre for Bio-Medical Ethics and Law (part of the Faculty of medicine, but with an interdisciplinary structure), are - besides teaching and documentation - mainly directed towards research.The expertise of the Centre spans a wide variety of disciplines including ethics, law, philosophy and theology and close links are maintained with various medical and care disciplines. The staff is composed of senior academic ...

Volckaert) - Aquatic ecology and biodiversity including population genetics & evolutionary genetics of aquatic vertebrates & invertebrates. - Fish diseases (parasites, bacteria) and aquatic microbiology. - Management of aquatic ecosystems (trophical cascade) in relation with eutrophication. - Ecophysiology related with aquaculture, reproduction. - ...
Laboratory of Molecular Biology of Leukemia (VIB-KUÂ Leuven) KU Leuven
The Laboratory of Molecular Biology of Leukemia tries to understand the genetic complexity of leukemia, with the aim to use that information to develop novel treatment strategies.
Leukemia is a genetically complex disease that is characterized by the accumulation of abnormal blood cells. The leukemia cells often harbor chromosomal defects and additional more sublte changes (mutations) in their genome. This information is used for ...
Laboratory for Epigenetic Epidemiology KU Leuven
The CME researchers conduct leading-edge research in various areas of the life sciences. The emphasis is on molecular genetics, cell biology and developmental biology. They also develop technologies to support clinical and basic genetic research at home and abroad. The Center for Human Genetics currently has twenty independent research groups, one of which is the Epigenetic Epidemiology research unit.
Sleegers Lab Flanders Institute for Biotechnology
Laboratory of Gene Regulation and Disease KU Leuven
The laboratorium of gene regulation and disease is part of the Department of Human Genetics that conducts cutting edge research and offers an up-to-date educational curriculum within the areas of human genetics and genomics. .
Biomedical Quality Assurance Research Unit KU Leuven
The research unit ‘Biomedical Quality Assurance’ focuses on the longitudinal study of various quality aspects of molecular (genetical) lab research. The research group was at the basis of the elaboration of highly important quality assessement programs for genetic diseases and oncobiomarker tests. The results of several research projects have demonstrated the importance of introducing a quality management system in diagnostic laboratories and ...
