Organisations
Laboratory for Skeletal Dysplasia Research KU Leuven
The expertise here lies with children with rare bone and cartilage disorders (skeletal dysplasias), these disorders are usually genetic and already occur at or even before birth. Achondroplasia is one of the most common forms of this condition.
Skeletal Biology and Engineering Research Center KU Leuven
The Skeletal Biology and Engineering Research Center focuses its research on the understanding of the cellular and molecular basis of skeletal tissue formation, remodeling and repair.
The Center thereby aims to develop treatments for skeletal disorders, in particular regenerative strategies for cartilage, bone and joint repair. These approaches include the manufacturing of novel class Advanced Therapeutic Medicinal Products, towards we ...
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 ...
Laboratory for Genetic Epidemiology KU Leuven
Laboratory of Genetic Epidemiology.
The research in the Laboratory for Genetic Epidemiology focuses on the clinical and genetic characterization of complex developmental disorders, in particular autism spectrum disorders. It concerns the search for new causes and the clinical validation of known genetic risk variants. In addition, in a joint research program with the Department of ESAT-PSI image and speech processing the ...
Experimental Anatomy Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Department of Imaging & Pathology KU Leuven
The Department of Imaging & Pathology conducts bidirectional research in imaging and pathology, with an aim to translate these new insights into better diagnostic and therapeutic applications with a definite social and economical endpoint. Major areas of research are: Multimodal morphological, functional and molecular cardiac imaging and neuro-imaging - Cell tracking and stem cell imaging - Total body imaging in oncology - Radiotracer ...
Leuven Medical Technology Centre KU Leuven
Leuven Health Technology Centre (L-HTC) will focus on technology enhanced active and healthy living. In the L-HTC vision new technology will be developed for active movement in the framework of lifestyle applications, rather than for sport performance applications. This choice is inspired by the societal importance of an active lifestyle for prevention, i.e. for keeping people healthy (primary prevention), reducing risks for chronically ill ...
Laboratory for Molecular Diagnosis KU Leuven
The translational research activities of the diagnostic team concern the development and validation of new technologies for use in diagnostics. The lab has developed specific gene panels for various genetically heterogeneous disorders and offers 'mendelioom' sequencing within the clinical service.
