Laboratory of Ion Channel Research (VIB-KUÂ Leuven) KU Leuven
The Laboratory of Ion Channel Research. main interest is the mammalian TRP channel family, a class of structurally related non selective cation channels, some of which mediate Ca2+-entry in response to activation of phospholipase C (PLC) . Others act as cellular sensors that translate fluctuations in environmental parameters, such as thermal (heat, cold), mechanical (touch) and chemical (tastants) stimuli, into changes in membrane ...
Translational Pathophysiological Research (TPR) University of Antwerp
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 for Clinical Infectious and Inflammatory Disorders KU Leuven
The staff of the Laboratory for Clinical Infectious and Inflammatory Disorders consists of dedicated clinicians involved in the patient care of the General Internal Medicine Department, including Emergency Care and Intensive Care. Hence, the research efforts have tight links with clinical care and provide a dynamic interplay between bench and bedside. Examples of topics include: hepatic critical care: detoxification devices and hemodynamics; ...
Laboratory of Protein Phosphorylation and Proteomics KU Leuven
- We investigate the regulation of (patho)physiological processes via reversible protein phosphorylation, and explore the therapeutic potential of the kinases and phosphatases involved. Focus is on Protein Kinase D (PKD) and Protein Phosphatase 2A (PP2A), but increasingly also on broader (kinome and phosphatome wide) approaches to systematically identify kinases/phosphatases that are implicated in (patho)physiological ...
