Organisations
Department of Embryology and Genetics Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The Research Department of Embryology and Genetics (EMGE) is linked to the Centres for Medical Genetics and Reproductive Medicine and the Department of Paediatrics of the UZ Brussel and consists of several research clusters. Historically, the group has been interested in metabolic diseases such as lysosomal storage diseases and this has led to the close collaboration with the neuro-paediatricians of the hospital, investigating mitochondrial ...
Division of Gene Therapy & Regenerative Medicine Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Convincing evidence continues to emerge from clinical trials that gene therapy is yielding therapeutic effects in patients suffering from a wide range of diseases. Moreover. the use of adult stem cells and the reprogramming of cells towards pluripotency are being heralded as some of the most promising developments in regenerative medicine at the forefront of medical innovation. This mirrors worldwide efforts in some of the leading research ...
Reproduction and Genetics Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The core business of REGE is the interphase between reproduction and genetics, a wide discipline covering several subdisciplines. Male infertility and the search for genes involved in spermatogenensis is a first topic that is mainly investigated within the Centre for Medical Genetics. A second important topic covers the (epi)genetics of embryos and embryonic stem cells, amongst others the investigation of chromosomal abnormalities, epigenetic ...
Liver Cell Biology Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The academic staff of the Liver Cell Biology Lab (LIVR) is formed by Prof. Leo van Grunsven (Head of LIVR) and Prof. Hendrik Reynaert (Head of Gastroenterology Department at the UZ Brussel hospital).
In general, research projects at LIVR aim to better characterize the different liver cell types in healthy and pathological conditions, and to gain a better insight in the pathogenesis of liver fibrosis and the mechanisms of liver ...
Carmeliet Lab Flanders Institute for Biotechnology
Cell Genetics Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The laboratory for Cell Genetics (Cytogenetics) studies variation in genotype and phenotype, cell division pathways, cell death and genetic changes relevant for the increase of cancer in human. Genotoxicity tests assess the induction of DNA damage, gene mutations, structural and numerical chromosome aberrations. Their predictivity for cancer induction is supported by international studies relating mutations and activation of cancer related ...

Research Institute: Centre for Environmental Sciences Hasselt University
From the beginning, and also for the future, CMK has opted for a well-considered combination of and symbiosis between high-qualitative fundamental environment-related research and applied research with financing coming from the different money flows (2nd, 3rd, 4th). CMK participates in European framework programmes, in research programmes for international bilateral cooperation, in BOF projects (Special Research Fund), in FWO ...
