Laboratory of Neuronal Differentiation (VIB-KUÂ Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research) KU Leuven
The Laboratory of Neuronal Differentiation conducts research into four research lines:
- On the establishment of neuronal polarity.
- On the maintenance of neuronal polarity.
- On the role of membrane lipids in late life defects: involvement in death/survival signaling during neuronal ageing.
- On the search for g-Secretase Activity modulators: the usefulness of Drosophila melanogaster genetics.

Gynaecological Oncology KU Leuven
The research in the Gynaecological Oncology laboratory covers 4 major fields:
Cancer and pregnancy. Our focus is on the continued long term follow up of children who were prenatally exposed to chemotherapy. In this framework, we are performing in vitrotransplacental studies. We also have a special interest in breast cancer during pregnancy. Research in both fields is performed in an international and interdisciplinary setting. ...
Laboratory for Functional Epigenetics KU Leuven
Our research interest is in the epigenetic causes of human diseases. We tackle scientific problems by leveraging cutting edge genomic tools, in vitro and in vivo experiments and insights derived from patient samples. This enables us to address questions that were hitherto impossible to be answered. we am thus uniquely poised to characterize the nature of epigenetic signals that are changed in disease, how they are perturbed and how they ...
Pharmaceutical and Pharmacological Sciences Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The department FAFY is mainly developing research activities in the following domains: 1. The use of hepatocytes in culture and co-culture as a model for toxicity and biotransformation studies of xenobiotics: - Evaluation of the iso-enzyme pattern of hepatocytes in culture and co-culture; - Detoxification mechanisms of hepatocytes in cultures and co-cultures; - Biotransformation and toxicity of isobutene; - Biotransformation and toxicity of ...
