Laboratory for Mechanisms of Cell Transformation (VIB-KUÂ Leuven) KU Leuven
The research interests from the Laboratory for Mechanisms of Cell Transformation are focused on understanding the cooperative interactions that conspire to promote tumorigenic transformation. To discover drivers of cancer development and progression, they create experimental models of cell transformation derived from primary human cells that mimic alterations found in human cancer samples. These models provide a useful platform to delineate ...

Molecular Immunology (Rega Institute) KU Leuven
This unit operates in close association with the Division of Immunolbiology (A. Billiau). Together these teams investigate the immunobiology of inflammation, auto-immunity and cancer, with emphasis on the role of cytokines (interferons, interleukins, cytotoxins and chemokines) and cellular proteases (plasminigen activators, collgenases, etc.). Projects and milestones in this framework comprise: - Identification in molecular and biological ...
