Bio-Imaging lab University of Antwerp
Laboratory for Parkinson Research KU Leuven
The Laboratory for Parkinson Research investigates the molecular basis of Parkinson’s disease in order to find new targets for disease-modifying therapy. They study the cellular functions of proteins that have been genetically linked to Parkinson’s disease. So far they have focused mainly on the function of the Parkin protein. Loss of function mutations in the gene for Parkin are the main cause of recessive Parkinson’s disease. Parkin plays a ...
Department of Movement Sciences KU Leuven
The department consists of four research groups with a different focus, but each contributing to the optimization of health, well-being and quality of life in society through physical activity, and to performance improvement in a wide range of physical activities and sports.

Department of Rehabilitation Sciences KU Leuven
Cardiovascular & respiratory rehabilitation, adapted physical activity & psychomotor therapy. Within this unit clinical & fundamental research are encouraged. There is a close cooperation and integration with various departments in the University Hospital and the Rehabilitation Center. The research is focused on cardiovascular rehabilitation, exercise capacity, physiotherapeutic interventions in patients with respiratory disease, ...
Department of Oncology KU Leuven
The Department of Oncology at the KU Leuven 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 for the Research of Neurodegenerative Diseases (VIB-KUÂ Leuven) KU Leuven
The Laboratory for the Research of Neurodegenerative Diseases performes research into the fundamental molecular processes that underlay neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Their work has also contributed to insights into general physiologically mechanisms, in particular, the understanding of regulated intramembrane proteolysis as an important signaling mechanism in health and disease. They have demonstrated the ...
