Social Epidemiology & Health Policy (SEHPO) University of Antwerp

Responsible
Regarding Social Epidemiology, an important line of research within our Research Group is the licit and illicit substance use in students. Our group has (1) a large European project on substance use and social norms, (2) collaborations with colleagues from two South-African Universities (University of Limpopo and University of Kwazulu Natal) to replicate the studies on substance use in Flemish students by using similar questionnaires and (3) ...

Center for Oncological Research (CORE) University of Antwerp

Responsible
The Center for Oncological Research (CORE) is a joint oncology research platform of the University of Antwerp, where basic, translational and (pre)clinical cancer research is being performed. Our research focuses on: 1) developing and testing novel cancer therapies; 2) improving methods for diagnosis and follow-up; and 3) characterizing tumors and their micro-environment. CORE is operational on three sites: 1) the University of Antwerp Campus ...

Human molecular genetics University of Antwerp

Responsible
The main research interest lies in the field of sensory genetics. Although work is done for different forms of sensory diseases, the emphasis is on nonsyndromic sensorineural hearing impairment and otosclerosis. Large families are collected in Belgium and The Netherlands, as well as in countries with high consanguinity rate such as Iran. These pedigrees are analyzed by linkage analysis. Subsequently, the genes involved are identified by ...
