Cell Metabolism KU Leuven
The primary objectives of the lab are 1) to understand the role of peroxisomes and in particular of peroxisomal β-oxidation in diverse tissues and during different stages of life 2) to investigate the pathological mechanisms in peroxisomal diseases which should allow the development of therapies. To approach these questions we generated a series of mouse models with global or cell type selective inactivation of functional peroxisomes or of ...
Laboratory of Membrane Trafficking (VIB-KUÂ Leuven) KU Leuven
The research in the Laboratory of Membrane Trafficking is focused on the cell biology and trafficking of the g-secretase components. This multiprotein complex has been implicated in a new signal transduction paradigm, called Regulated Intramembrane Proteolysis or RIP and is critical in a wide variety of important cellular activities including embryogenesis, brain development and haematopoiesis. RIP also plays a central role in Alzheimer's ...
Laboratory for Neuroimmunology KU Leuven
The Laboratory for Neuroimmunology performs research into finding genetic factors that play a role in an individual’s susceptibility to develop Multiple Sclerosis:
- In collaboration with colleagues worldwide of the International Multiple Sclerosis Genetics Consortium we have identified more than 110 genetic risk factors for MS in the last years. As these explain a substantial fraction of but not the entire heritability of the ...
