Leuven Medical Technology Centre KU Leuven
Leuven Health Technology Centre (L-HTC) will focus on technology enhanced active and healthy living. In the L-HTC vision new technology will be developed for active movement in the framework of lifestyle applications, rather than for sport performance applications. This choice is inspired by the societal importance of an active lifestyle for prevention, i.e. for keeping people healthy (primary prevention), reducing risks for chronically ill ...
Laboratory of Neuronal Communication (VIB-KUÂ Leuven) KU Leuven
The research interests of the Laboratory of Neuronal Communication are defined as:
Altered synaptic communication has been identified as one of the leading causes of various neurological and psychiatric disorders, yet the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unresolved. Hence, establishing an understanding of synaptic communication at the molecular level in relation to neurological disease, in particular Parkinson’s disease, would be ...
Neurosciences Hasselt University
The Neuroscience research group focuses on fundamental, translational and clinical research to gain insight in the (sub-)cellular mechanisms and pathogenetic processes of neurological disorders of the central or peripheral nervous system. These diseases include disorders related to neuronal development, disorders related to the enteric nervous system and neurodegenerative disorders. A 'bench-to-bedside' approach is used in which clinically ...
Experimental Pharmacology Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In the research group Experimental Pharmacology the vast majority of scientists are trained in pharmacology and psychopharmacology. Our team has however a nice complementarity between a number of neuroscientists-pharmacologists engaged in preclinical research, a number of analytical experts looking for new sensitive methods for monitoring numerous neuromediators, brain biomarkers and pharmacological read-outs, and a number of colleagues who ...
