Organisations
Brussels Photonics Team Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Photonics -the "Science-and-Technology-to-Harness-Light"- is a discipline that involves fundamental research of photons, of light-matter interactions, and the development of novel technologies and applications based on the unique properties of light. Photonics leverages these unique properties to probe, sense, transmit, process, display and store information, and to accomplish a multitude of original functionalities, which cannot be achieved ...
Computational Cancer Biology and Epigenomics KU Leuven
Cancers are highly heterogeneous entities, both within a single tumor and across patients. Intratumoral heterogeneity stems from the spectrum of cancer cell clones and the dynamic cellular composition of the tumour microenvironment. Cross-patient heterogeneity is based on the multitude of cancer cells-of-origin and patient-specific combinations of germline and somatic genetic variants driving the tumorigenesis. Despite recent major ...
Cyclotron Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The Cyclotron group of the TONA department of the VUB is in charge of the exploitation of a variable energy, multiparticle accelerator used in research and for routine production of radioisotopes.The main research activities developed around the cyclotron by different groups are: 1. Physical characterisation of nuclear threshold reactions (Prof A. Hermanne, TONA/CYCL): - Stacked foil analysis for determination of cross-sections of charged ...

Skin Immunology & Immune Tolerance Research Group Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Collaboration between the Department of Dermatology and the Department of Toxicology, Dermato Cosmetology and Pharmacognosy (FAFY) was initiated through a project on the epidermal barrier. This was the initiative of the professors Vera Rogiers, Diane Roseeuw and Kristien De Paepe. This collaboration, which is still ongoing, aimed at developing and improving formulations for topical treatments. Various innovative dermatological cosmetics were ...
Species Diversity Research Institute for Nature and Forest
The Species Diversity team investigates the state and trends of populations of species in a regional (Flanders), national (Belgium) and international context with a view to the conservation and management of biodiversity. To this end, it charts the biotic and abiotic habitat requirements of species, interactions between species, and the impact of human activities on species in order to explain the observed trends. The methods used include ...
