Organisations
Laboratory of Reproductive Genomics KU Leuven
Our group focuses on:
(1) The development of wet-lab and computational methods for single-cell multi-omics analyses –including genome, epigenome and transcriptome analyses of single cells– using microarray and next-generation sequencing technologies. We furthermore automate these methods using customised liquid handling robotics and microfluidics.
(2) The application of these methods to study the nature, rate and mechanisms of ...
Hypertension and Cardiovascular Epidemiology KU Leuven
The Research Unit Hypertension and Cardiovascular Epidemiology (HCVE) coordinated influential clinical trials, published in top-ranking journals, such as the Systolic Hypertension in Europe Trial (Syst-Eur), the Ambulatory blood Pressure monitoring and Treatment of Hypertension trial (APTH) and the Treatment of hypertension based on Home or Office blood Pressure trial (THOP). HCVE led the Data Safety and Monitoring Board of large clinical ...
Laboratory of Computational Biology (VIB-KUÂ Leuven) KU Leuven
Research in the Laboratory of Computational Biology is focusing on gene and genome regulation, with applications in Drosophila and cancer, and on integrative genomics, developing computational methods for genomic data integration and analysis of next-generation sequence data.
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 ...
Proteinscience, proteomics and epigenetic signaling (PPES) University of Antwerp
Malariology Institute of Tropical Medicine
Introduction
The Unit of Malariology, led by Prof Rosanas-Urgell, aims to contribute to the development of tools and strategies for better malaria control and elimination. Most of our studies are solidly grounded in field-research and epidemiological studies aiming to provide a bridge between in vitro and in vivo research. We combine state-of-the-art molecular, ‘omic and cell technologies ...
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 ...
Inborn Errors of Immunity KU Leuven
Laboratory of Pediatric Immunology has two main research activities: 1) study of allergic diseases with on the one hand upper and lower airway inflammation (in close collaboration with labs of clinical immunology and pneumology) for which we study in house running murine models of allergic asthma and develop of new mouse models for non-allergic asthma, as well as translational research in patients with upper and/or lower airway inflammation ...
