The Laboratory of Neurobiology focuses on the mechanisms of acute and chronic axonal and neuronal degeneration and regeneration, aiming to contribute to the development of new therapeutic strategies for neurodegenerative disorders. We intensively study motor neuron diseases (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and hereditary motor neuropathies), frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and stroke.
The research expertise at the Laboratory for Pharmacotechnology and Biopharmacy lies in the area of the physicochemical and biopharmaceutical evaluation of drug candidates and dosage forms designed for extravascular administration. The main focus is to improve drug bioavailability both by a pharmacotechnological (new drug formulations) and a biopharmaceutical (based on knowledge of drug absorption mechanisms) approach. Pharmaceutical ...
The research group of Electrochemical and Surface Engineering -SURF- is the merger between the former research groups 'Metallurgy, Electrochemistry and Materials Science' within the 'Materials and Chemistry' department, META/MACH, and 'Computational Electrochemistry Group' within the 'Electrical Engineering' department, CEG-ETEC. Research revolves around 5 cross-linked areas in electrochemical engineering, (nano) surface engineering and their ...
The Brussels Institute for Geochemical Techniques in Earth Sciences is a joint ULB-VUB research group.
ETRO (Electronics and Information Processing) focuses on three major topics: devices and electronic technology (LAMI) on the one hand, and on the other hand the processing of information through electronic means in fields related to digital images and video (IRIS) and speech (DSSP). 1. IRIS studies how to map image processing algorithms on appropriate architectures for efficient implementation, image and video compression, data visualisation, ...
