Laboratory of Experimental Hematology KU Leuven
The Laboratory of Experimental Hematology conducts research into the following topics:
- Molecular characterization of rare lymphomas and identifying molecular subtypes
- Preclinical efficacy studies of new therapies in lymphoma tumors using xenograft models derived from patient samples
- Clinical research on new treatment options and drugs for patients with hematologic malignancies
- Detection of minimal residual ...
Molecular Biodiscovery KU Leuven
The Lab for Molecular Biodiscovery at the University of Leuven (Belgium) is interested in the identification and validation of novel small molecules with significant pharmacological potential using a zebrafish-based platform, with a special interest in small molecules from natural sources. The lab has major efforts underway to find hits with novel chemical structures in the areas of epilepsy and BMP/Wnt signaling.
Operations Research and Statistics Research Group (ORSTAT) (main work address Brussels) KU Leuven
In operations research, a challenging research area is combinatorial optimization. Next to exact methods such as branch-and-bound, branch-and-price, also approximation algorithms are studied. Assignment and scheduling problems, winner determination problems and research on client-oriented vehicle routing problems are some of the subjects under study. Further emphasis is placed on machine scheduling, resource-constrained project planning and ...
Hypertension and Cardiovascular Epidemiology KU Leuven
The Research Unit Hypertension and Cardiovascular Epidemiology (HCVE) coordinated influential clinical trials, published in top-ranking journals, such as the Systolic Hypertension in Europe Trial (Syst-Eur), the Ambulatory blood Pressure monitoring and Treatment of Hypertension trial (APTH) and the Treatment of hypertension based on Home or Office blood Pressure trial (THOP). HCVE led the Data Safety and Monitoring Board of large clinical ...
VIB CMN - Applied and Translational Neurogenomics University of Antwerp
Conservative Dentistry and Prosthodontics Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Doelstellingen: The department COPR deals with teaching and research in the domain of restorative dentistry. This encompasses cariology and endodontology, fixed and removable prosthodontics and child dentistry. Research activities are in three projects: 1. corrosion and degradation of dental materials and their effect on reconstituted in vitro epithelium models: Biocompatibility of dental materials using in vitro tests'. The need for ...
Geology Vrije Universiteit Brussel
DGLG focuses its activities on Earth and environmental sciences, which means a broad scope of interests. The experimental approach using 'isotope geology' is original and unique in Flanders. The department' labs host several mass spectrometers for the precise determination of several key isotopic systems. The isotopes are powerful geological tools, with a broad range of application, often resulting in stimulating inter-university projects and ...
Laboratory of Experimental Oncology KU Leuven
There are five main research topics in the Laboratory of Experimental Oncology ( LEO):
- molecular characterization of rare tumors focused on identification of predictive biomarkers;
- preclinical efficacy studies of novel targeted agents in soft tissue sarcomas using a unique panel of xenograft models derived from patient samples;
- translational research, identifying prognostic markers related to experimental treatment, ...
Analytic Laboratory Research Institute for Nature and Forest
The Analytical Laboratory team analyses both water and solid samples and conducts genetic, phytopathological and in vitro analyses.
