Organisations
Rehabilitation Research Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The Rehabilitation Research (RERE) group is a very dynamic research team, formed in 2019. Most P.I.’s have heterogeneous research lines, ranging from neurological to oncological rehabilitation and from pediatric to geriatric rehabilitation. Several RERE members still work as a clinician, which stimulates the transition of clinical questions into research questions and vice versa.
All RERE members share one common purpose: we aim to ...
Biomedical Quality Assurance Research Unit KU Leuven
The research unit ‘Biomedical Quality Assurance’ focuses on the longitudinal study of various quality aspects of molecular (genetical) lab research. The research group was at the basis of the elaboration of highly important quality assessement programs for genetic diseases and oncobiomarker tests. The results of several research projects have demonstrated the importance of introducing a quality management system in diagnostic laboratories and ...
Laboratory for Translational Breast Cancer Research KU Leuven
Part of the Department of Oncology that fosters synergy in innovative oncological research. By creating a close link between bed and bench and by capitalizing on advanced technologies, our researchers aim to unravel key molecular mechanisms underlying the development and progression of cancer and to maximize opportunities to translate these findings into better clinical biomarkers, adaptive strategies and innovative treatments.
Laboratory of Cell Death Research & Therapy (VIB-KUÂ 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 ‘danger signals’ from the stressed/dying cells, which critically define their ‘immunogenic character’ and impact the initiation ...
Research Group Experimental Neurosurgery and Neuroanatomy KU Leuven
- Head injury: pharmacological agents. - Lumbardisc herniation: prevention of epidural scan tissue formation. - Hydrodynamic characteristics of the cerebrospinal fluid spaces in normal and hydrocephalic brain. Physiopathology of the Cushing response. - ICP during external vertricular drainage. - Biomechanics of skull- and braininjuries in cyclists. Protection by helmets. - Spinal cord stumulation using a new epidural lead and pulse generator. ...
Laboratory of Growth Control and Cancer Research (VIB-KUÂ Leuven) KU Leuven
The Laboratory of Growth Control and Cancer Research conducts reasearch on the mechanisms that control organ size. Currently they focus on three main topics: 1) How mechanical forces regulate cellular behavior and the Hippo pathway, 2) The regulation of cell competition and the role of the Hippo pathway therein, and 3) The role of the Hippo pathway in cancer cell dormancy. These three projects are highly related and interconnected and aim at ...
Biomedical Research Institute Hasselt University
BIOMED is a multidisciplinary institute where fundamental as well as applied scientific research, innovation and education are carried out in a stimulating academic environment within the domain of life sciences.
High quality fundamental and applied research is performed in a limited number of selected core domains relevant to human health and disease. Scientific services are conducted in activity fields closely related to our ...
Limburg Clinical Research Center Hasselt University
Research Group for Rehabilitation in Internal Disorders KU Leuven
The research group for Rehabilitation in Internal Disorders (GRID) studies the impact of physical inactivity and impaired exercise tolerance in patients with internal disorders. Research expertise is present on the assessment of physical fitness (exercise, skeletal and respiratory muscle) and physical activity in patient groups, as well as in exercise training and rehabilitation programs for patients with respiratory, cardiac and vascular ...
