Mycobacteriology Institute of Tropical Medicine
The Unit of Mycobacteriology, led by Prof Bouke De Jong, is dedicated to improving the health of patients suffering from mycobacterial diseases such as tuberculosis, leprosy, and Buruli ulcer. We provide diagnostic services for individual patients and challenge current control approaches, aiming at better understanding of mycobacterial diseases and improving patient outcome.
Our research lines include fundamental pathobiology, ...
Pediatric Oncology KU Leuven
Pediatric Oncology is a research group within Oncology that focuses on younger patients. The Department of Oncology promotes synergy in innovative oncological research. By creating a close link between bed and couch and by taking advantage of advanced technologies, our researchers want to expose important molecular mechanisms behind the development and progression of cancer and maximize the chances of translating these findings into better ...

Structural Biology Brussels Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Structural biology is a central discipline in molecular life sciences, and our Center for Structural Biology (CSB) has been a cornerstone of the research conducted at the VUB and the VIB, first under the leadership of Lode Wyns, and more recently under the guidance of Jan Steyaert and Han Remaut. The Center has made several top-tier discoveries, of which Nanobody technology has been running like a tread through the history of CSB. The centre ...
Adaptive Immunology KU Leuven
The research is focused on the cellular and molecular basis of immune tolerance mechanisms and failure. They study genetic basis of immune tolerance through the generation of murine models of disease and the analysis of genetic defects in patients with immune disorders. The laboratory specializes in the study of regulatory T cells, primary immunodeficiencies, diabetes and T cell development.
