Organisations
Molecular Immunology (Rega Institute) KU Leuven
This unit operates in close association with the Division of Immunolbiology (A. Billiau). Together these teams investigate the immunobiology of inflammation, auto-immunity and cancer, with emphasis on the role of cytokines (interferons, interleukins, cytotoxins and chemokines) and cellular proteases (plasminigen activators, collgenases, etc.). Projects and milestones in this framework comprise: - Identification in molecular and biological ...

Laboratory of Molecular Biology of Leukemia (VIB-KUÂ Leuven) KU Leuven
The Laboratory of Molecular Biology of Leukemia tries to understand the genetic complexity of leukemia, with the aim to use that information to develop novel treatment strategies.
Leukemia is a genetically complex disease that is characterized by the accumulation of abnormal blood cells. The leukemia cells often harbor chromosomal defects and additional more sublte changes (mutations) in their genome. This information is used for ...

Topic A : Biochemistry and molecular biology of plant cell wall degradation due to fungal and bacterial pectic enzymes (Fusarium, Pseudomonas) (Koedam N.) Molecular cloning, gene (product) and regulation analysis Investigation of virulence factors in Fusarium oxysporum induced wilting of chickpea and disease suppression by fluorescent Pseudomonas Topic B : siderophores of bacterial origin (Pseudomonas) : production, regulation and interaction ...
Viral Genetics Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The main expertise of the research group GEVI is molecular genetics of bacteria that are pathogenic for plants and animals. This laboratory contributed significantly to the present widespread application of the bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens, as a tool for routine transformation of plants. Agrobacterium- mediated transformation is used by GEVI for the isolation and study of genes involved in plant morphogenesis. In addition, techniques ...
Department of General Biology Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Topic A : Coccodiosis Immuneresponse against coccidia: antigenic characterization of Eimeria stiedae and Eimeria magna; production of monoclonal antibodies and construction of expression libraries Characterisation of a double stranded RNA virus in Eimeria stiedae Topic B : Leishmaniasis Investigation of circular and linear forms of nucleic acids in Leishmania Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis karyotyping of New World Leishmania applications in ...
Laboratory of Experimental Hematology KU Leuven
The Laboratory of Experimental Hematology conducts research into the following topics:
- Molecular characterization of rare lymphomas and identifying molecular subtypes
- Preclinical efficacy studies of new therapies in lymphoma tumors using xenograft models derived from patient samples
- Clinical research on new treatment options and drugs for patients with hematologic malignancies
- Detection of minimal residual ...
Plant Genetics Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Research in the Laboratory of Plant Genetics concerns basic plant molecular genetics as well as applied research relevant to the plant biotechnology and agricultural sector. The research is focused on the following themes: · DNA repair and recombination mechanisms and methods to influence these processes. This may lead to development of improved plant breeding techniques, improved plant transformation technology and new techniques for ...
