Laboratory for Genetics of Malignant Disorders KU Leuven
The discovery and functional characterization of new, recurrent cytogenetic or molecular aberrations in malignant disorders are the most important research objectives of the laboratory for Genetics of Malignant Disorders. These research objectives connect almost seamlessly with the diagnostic, cytogenetic and molecular services which CME-UZ offers for nearly each malignant pathology: acute and chronic leukaemia, lymphomas, mesenchymal and ...
Limburg Clinical Research Center Hasselt University
Rheumatology Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The Rheumatology Department diagnoses rheumatic diseases and provides care to adult patients suffering from the autoimmune and auto-inflammatory rheumatic diseases. There are many different rheumatic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, connective tissue diseases such as SLE, scleroderma, Sjögren syndrome, myositis, vasculitis etc. Our clinical activities emphasize both common and rare rheumatic ...
Leuven Biostatistics and Statistical Bioinformatics Centre (L-BioStat) KU Leuven
The Biostatistical Centre combines theoretical biostatistical research with pratical data analysis. The major research areas of the group are: repeated measurements, clinical trials, surrogate endpoints, missing data, mixed models, Bayesian statistics. The Centre has organized workshops, international and national courses in collaboration with institutes from abroad such as University college of London, Free University of Berlin, Lancaster ...
Research Group Psychiatry KU Leuven
Research group Psychiatry with six aspects of research: Contextual Psychiatry, Developmental Psychiatry, Public Health Psychiatry, Neuropsychiatry, Clinical Psychiatry and Mind-body Research.
Head and Neck Oncology KU Leuven
The research group Head and Neck Oncologyfocuses on outcomes research and surgical innovation and technology assessment for promoting minimally invasive surgical approaches.
On the outcomes research part, (1) our team has recently developed and validated a clinicopathologic prognostic index. We are exploring the possibilities of evaluating molecular biological factors for inclusion in the index and optimizing prognostic accuracy. (2) ...
Laboratory of Experimental Oncology KU Leuven
There are five main research topics in the Laboratory of Experimental Oncology ( LEO):
- molecular characterization of rare tumors focused on identification of predictive biomarkers;
- preclinical efficacy studies of novel targeted agents in soft tissue sarcomas using a unique panel of xenograft models derived from patient samples;
- translational research, identifying prognostic markers related to experimental treatment, ...
Surgical Oncology KU Leuven
There are four main topics of research which are closely related to major areas of clinical work. 1. Identifying prognostic and predictive biomarkers in breast cancer patients. 2. Molecular annotation of somatic mutations in sarcoma and the discovery and validation of genetic biomarkers and establishing cell lines and tumor xenografts. 3. Genetic polymorphism in melanoma; vitamin D and malignant melanoma; characterization of tumor response to ...
Construction engineering Hasselt University
The research activities of the research group CERG are situated within two research lines. The first research line studies the behaviour of structural components in concrete and other quasi-brittle materials. A first research topic of this research line investigates the behaviour of building components, such as masonry walls and prestressed concrete members. The focus lies on the development of finite element models which allow for assessing ...
