Laboratory of Intravital Microscopy and Dynamics of Tumor Progression (VIB-KUÂ Leuven) KU Leuven
The Scheele laboratory focuses on morphogenesis, homeostasis, and tumorigenesis of epithelial organs ranging from a cellular level to the organ scale. More specifically, the Scheele lab studies how healthy tissue architecture and environment prevent or promote the different steps of tumorigenesis. To study these highly dynamic processes, the Scheele lab utilizes and develops state-of-the-art imaging approaches, including 3D whole organ ...
Research Group Molecular Neurobiology (VIB-KUÂ Leuven) KU Leuven
Major research questions focus on cell type vulnerability and single-cell heterogeneity, protein aggregation and proteopathic stress, synaptic function, as well as microglial activation and neuroimmunology.
Theory lab Hasselt University
The research of our group focuses on nonequilibrium statistical physics. We deal mostly with a theoretical foundation for this theory, but also make the connection with applications in physics, biology and nano-technology. We have worked on work and fluctuation theorems (both for classical and quantum systems), microscopic theories for entropy production, thermodynamic efficiency at maximum power, stochastic thermodynamics, Brownian motors ...
Laboratory of Inorganic and Physical Chemistry Hasselt University
The main activity of the research group of Inorganic and Physical Chemistry is the study of environmentally friendly, chemical methods to the synthesis of high-tech, nanostructured inorganic materials.
A water based sol-gel method is developed and optimized successfully for the preparation of ferroelectric, piezoelectric, conductive and dielectric metal oxide powders and thin films (with thicknesses from several hundreds down to a few ...
Molecular Imaging and Photonics KU Leuven
Fundamental properties of the electronic excited state and of the use of this basic knowledge in different physical and physicochemical problems . - Intra- and intermolecular interactions in the electronic excited state. - Photochemistry and photophysics of ordered systems such as micelles, inverse micelles and membranes. Stabilization of ordered systems through polymerization. - Adsorption of organic molecules at surfaces and the influence ...
Bio-Physics Hasselt University
Laboratory of Cellular Transport Systems KU Leuven
Research of the LabCTS team is focused on the molecular structure and function, the cell biological and (patho)physiological role of several members of the P-type ATPase family of transporters. These molecular machines generate vital ion or lipid transmembrane gradients across various biological membranes, driving many basic physiological processes. More specifically, our research concentrates on two classes of P-type ATPases.
One class ...
Laboratory of Reproductive Genomics KU Leuven
Our group focuses on:
(1) The development of wet-lab and computational methods for single-cell multi-omics analyses –including genome, epigenome and transcriptome analyses of single cells– using microarray and next-generation sequencing technologies. We furthermore automate these methods using customised liquid handling robotics and microfluidics.
(2) The application of these methods to study the nature, rate and mechanisms of ...
Research Group for Neurobiology and Gene Therapy KU Leuven
The laboratory for Neurobiology and Gene Therapy is committed to gain insight in the underlying pathology of Parkinson's Disease (PD) and more recently Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), on both the molecular and cellular level. We are specifically focussing on the proteins α-synuclein and LRRK2, two key players in sporadic and familial PD.  The underlying idea is that better disease models and insights in the molecular pathogenesis are required ...
