Laboratory for Cytogenetics and Genome Research KU Leuven
The Laboratory for Cytogenetics and Genome Research has three focus areas. First, the laboratory is at the forefront of genomic technology development and implementation. During the last five years, the laboratory focused on implementing array CGH in molecular diagnostics and on novel applications of array CGH. A major area of attention is the detection of genome wide CNV and SNP detection in single cells. Currently, the laboratory is ...

Analytical, Environmental & Geo-Chemistry Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The scientific approach focuses on the holistic use of biogeochemical tracers, such as elemental concentrations (Cd, Pb, PGE etc.) and isotopic ratios (D/H, 18O/16O, 13C/12C, 15N/14N, 87Sr/88Sr...), - in some cases referred to as "proxies" - that are measured on a substrate (e.g. mineral phase, fossil, mussel-shell, teeth, seawater, phytoplankton, ice cores etc.) to infer specific environmental parameters (such as condition of formation, ...

AMPHIBIAN EVOLUTION LAB (Prof. Franky Bossuyt) http://www.amphibia.be ABSTRACT: Research centers around the use of molecular phylogenetics to elucidate evolutionary patterns, and the processes that produce them, in amphibians. We are trying to understand the relationship between tempo and mode of evolution in relation to biogeography, speciation and morphological diversification. Our research also integrates this phylogenetic background with ...

Physical Geography Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The Research Unit of Physical Geography develops activities along two main fields:
1. Ice and Climate (contact P. Huybrechts)
2. Volcanology, geomorphology, and natural hazards (contact M. Kervyn)
Ice and ClimateThe Ice and Climate research group focuses on the dynamics of glaciers and ice sheets and their interaction with the climatic system. Emphasis is laid on the development and application of ...
Division of Bioeconomics KU Leuven
The Division of Bioeconomics has three main research lines:
- poverty reduction and economic growth in poor countries and the sustainable and efficient use of natural resource to realize pro-poor growth;
- the transition towards a sustainable bio-based economy;
- the link between economic and ecological models by refining functions of socio-economic drivers that are used to model resource use change and changes in ...
