Medical genetics of obesity and skeletal disorders (MGENOS) University of Antwerp
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 ...
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.
Biomechanics Section KU Leuven
The research activities of the division are concentrated in three areas of biomechanics: 1. FUNDAMENTAL BONE RESEARCH: Both the relation between bone structure and its mechanical properties and the influence of mechanical sollicitation on bone remodelling are investigated. These relations are particularly relevant for the study and comprehension of fracture healing mechanisms and of osteoporosis. The division uses state of the art engineering ...

Analytical and Environmental Chemistry Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The Analytical and Environmental Chemistry Laboratory of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel is involved in environmental research and more specifically of aquatic systems: open ocean, coastal seas, estuaries, rivers and lakes. This research is funded by international (EC, UN), national and regional organisations. As a part of the greenhouse problem, the impact of plankton productivity on the removal of atmospheric carbon dioxide is estimated via ...
