Tropical Bacteriology Institute of Tropical Medicine
Head of unit: Prof. Jan Jacobs
The Unit of Tropical Bacteriology (UTB) was created in 2008 in the Department of Clinical Sciences at the Institute of Tropical Medicine (ITM), Antwerp, Belgium. It is headed by Prof. Jan Jacobs (MD - clinical microbiologist. UTB combines biomedical research, education and support of laboratory services. We focus on ...
Electrical Engineering Technology (ESAT), Bruges Campus KU Leuven
The TC Electrical Engineering (ESAT), Bruges Campus is part of the M-Group (Mechatronics Group) at KU Leuven, Bruges Campus. The M-Group is focused on the growing demand, by builders and users, for machines and systems to more advanced and fully integrated mechatronic systems. Competences on mechatronics at the Bruges Campus were brought together to in a group of broad and highly complementary expertise. The M-Group addresses the rising unmet ...
Sustainable Chemistry for Metals and Molecules KU Leuven
Coordination chemistry aims to study the effect of ligand geometry and nature on the central metal ions. These are transition metals (3d, 4d or 5d), lanthanides (4f) and actinides (5f). The symmetry of coordination mainly determines the electronic structure of the metal ions and influences in this way the spectroscopic, electrochemical, thermodynamic and magnetic properties of the complexes. A lot of applications of coordination compounds are ...
Materials Chemistry Hasselt University
The research group "Materials Chemistry" (MATCHEM) focuses on the synthesis, characterization and application of advanced functional materials. The group encompasses several expertise groups with specific and complementary expertise, closely collaborating and operating within the spearhead research domains of the Institute for Materials Research (IMO) of Hasselt University. The group is also linked to the IMEC associated laboratory 'IMOMEC'. ...
Verstreken Lab Flanders Institute for Biotechnology
Neurogenetics Group University of Antwerp
Ultrastructure Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The ULTR group was built around Lode Wyns and Serge Muyldermans who started investigating biomolecular structures in the 80's. The initial focus was a biochemical and biophysical analysis of chromatin assembly and structure, necessitating major efforts in the acquisition of the appropriate technological tools, including protein & nucleic acid chemistry, genetic engineering, analytical centrifugation and spectroscopy. In 1989, the long ...
Astronomy KU Leuven
The institute concentrates on the study, both theoretical and observational, of the variability of stars and the properties and evolution of stars and circumstellar matter. - Stellar pulsation theory - asymptotic theory - nonlinear pulsations. - Asteroseismology from space. - Interpretation of photometric and spectroscopic variability of massive stars. - Chemical evolution of low- and intermediate-mass stars. - Studies of the properties of ...
Institute of Criminal Law KU Leuven
Without ignoring general knowledge and practice, staff specializes in research on Terrorism and organised crime, White collar crime, Protection Mechanisms in Criminal Procedure, Sentencing and the Execution of Sanctions. Within each area there is continuous concern for the interplay between national and international (particularly European) norms and policies on the one hand and that between substantive law and procedure on the other.
