Laboratory of Stem Cell and Developmental Neurobiology (VIB-KUĀ Leuven) KU Leuven
We want to force a breakthrough in the cure of neuronal and neurodegenerative disorders. This requires a deep understanding of normal brain function and translation of this knowledge into a solid mechanistic understanding of disease mechanisms.
Laboratory of Cell Death Research & Therapy (VIB-KUĀ Leuven) KU Leuven
The Laboratory of Cell Death Research & Therapy researches Defective regulation of cell death, especially in the form of apoptosis, contributes to the development of crucial pathologies including cancer and plays a major role in chemoresistance. Mechanisms regulating cancer cell death also affect the emission of ādanger signalsā from the stressed/dying cells, which critically define their āimmunogenic characterā and impact the initiation ...

Reproduction and Genetics Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The core business of REGE is the interphase between reproduction and genetics, a wide discipline covering several subdisciplines. Male infertility and the search for genes involved in spermatogenensis is a first topic that is mainly investigated within the Centre for Medical Genetics. A second important topic covers the (epi)genetics of embryos and embryonic stem cells, amongst others the investigation of chromosomal abnormalities, epigenetic ...

Laboratory of Interneuron Developmental Dynamics (VIB-KUĀ Leuven) KU Leuven
Information processing in the brain depends on specialized circuits that are formed by distinct types of neurons. How these different nerve cells emerge and mature during development remains a fundamental question in neurobiology. We are interested to define at single-cell resolution the metabolic and transcriptomic programmes that shape neuronal diversity and circuit assembly in the developing mammalian cortex. Our research focuses primarily ...

Laboratory of Angiogenesis and Vascular Metabolism (VIB-KUĀ Leuven) KU Leuven
The research group of the Laboratory of Angiogenesis and Neurovascular Link focuses on a central theme, i.e. unraveling the molecular basis of angiogenesis (i.e. the formation of blood vessels) and translating these genetic insights in therapeutic concepts ā and, if possible, novel treatments. The group has also broadened its scope of interest to the exciting research avenue of the neurovascular link, illustrating that vessels and nerves have ...
