Bio-Imaging lab University of Antwerp
Cell Metabolism KU Leuven
The primary objectives of the lab are 1) to understand the role of peroxisomes and in particular of peroxisomal β-oxidation in diverse tissues and during different stages of life 2) to investigate the pathological mechanisms in peroxisomal diseases which should allow the development of therapies. To approach these questions we generated a series of mouse models with global or cell type selective inactivation of functional peroxisomes or of ...
Laboratory for Biochemical Neuroendocrinology KU Leuven
The Laboratory for Biochemical Neuroendocrinology conducts research into protein biosynthesis, maturation and trafficking in the (regulated) secretory pathway, in relation to human diseases like diabetes, obesity and autism.
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 ...
