Laboratory of Auditory Neurophysiology KU Leuven
Laboratory of Auditory Neurophysiology is part of the research group Neurophysiology. Particular topics of present interest are animate and inanimate object processing, action processing, 3D shape processing, visual control of grasping, perceptual learning, categorization and modulations of visual cortical responses by attention and reward. At the technical level, the group investigates the relationship between neural activity and fMRI ...

Periodontology & Oral Microbiology KU Leuven
The department of Periodontology conducts both clinical as well as more fundamental research. The clinical projects concentrate on an optimization of non-surgical periodontal therapy, diagnostics in Periodontology, planning and outcome of oral implants, diagnosis and treatment of halitosis. In 1996 the department created the Research Group for Microbial Adhesion. This new group covers research within a broad field of oral microbiology ...
Department of Human Genetics KU Leuven
The core business of the Center for Human Genetics is human and developmental genetics, neurogenetics and cancer genetics. For this reason we have chosen to structure the department around these three pillars by means of research programmes, headed by a program director.
Department of Pharmaceutical and Pharmacological Sciences KU Leuven
The Department of Pharmaceutical and Pharmacological Sciences researches a broad range of subjects spanning the entire drug discovery and development process, carries out studies on the use of medicinal products in society and guides practitioners in the field. Major areas of research are: target validation - drug discovery - medicinal chemistry - retrovirology - gene therapy - therapeutic and diagnostic antibodies - biocrystallography - ...
Physical and Colloidal Chemistry Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Colloid Chemistry in a nutshell is 'To mix what doesn't mix'. It concerns the study of mixtures of chemically different materials that unmix spontaneously such as water and oil. Some examples of colloidal materials are: aerosols, cement, various composites, dyestuffs, emulsions, foams, foodstuff, ink, paint, paper, pharmaceutical and cosmetic preparations, photographic emulsions, etc. The quality and the applicability of these materials is ...
