Laboratory for Microbiology, Parasitology and Hygiene (LMPH) University of Antwerp

Responsible
The Laboratory of Microbiology, Parasitology and Hygiene (LMPH) is an interdepartmental research group in the faculty of Pharmaceutical, Biomedical and Veterinary Sciences at the University of Antwerp. The research activities of LMPH primarily focus on the following areas:- Integrated antimicrobial screening of chemical and natural products. For many infectious diseases, therapeutic use of medicines remains the sole treatment option. In view of ...

1.Streptomyces as host for heterologous protein production. It has aldready proven that Streptomyces is a good choice for heterologous protein production and can be an invaluable host for eukaryotic proteins. Some of these heterologous proteins are secreted as biologically active compounds in commercially significant yield using expression/secretion signals we have isolated (EP0851931A), they can easily be purified and have the same ...

Our research is aimed at better understanding of the VWF/ADAMTS13/platelet axis in hemostatic, thrombotic and inflammatory processes. We use various in vivo models, combined with intravital microscopy to study molecular and cellular interactions. In particular, we focus on designing novel therapeutic strategies that interfere with von Willebrand factor function for treatment of thrombo-inflammatory disease.

The research group Industrial Microbiology and Food Biotechnology (formerly Industrial Microbiology, Fermentation Technology and Downstream Processing; IMDO) has been created in October 1994. It originates from the subunit of Biochemical Engineering of the Department of Chemical Engineering and Industrial Chemistry. The research theme deals with 'Research and Development for a Healthy Diet'. The establishment of IMDO meant the actual start of ...

Laboratory of Clinical and Epidemiological Virology (Rega Institute) KU Leuven

Responsible

The research team of Prof. Vandamme is investigating factors influencing antiviral treatment response in HIV infected patients with a special focus on the impact of virus drug resistance. The team is responsible for drug resistance testing in clinical practice at the local AIDS Reference Laboratory. Another research topic involves the evolution and molecular epidemiology of human viruses, seeking to understand in particular the origin and ...

Organic Chemistry Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Peptides are naturally occurring molecules composed of a small number of amino acids. They control many vital functions in the organism, such as blood pressure, pain, memory, appetite, growth, ..., which make them very interesting as potential therapeutics. However, their rapid degradation and their poor oral bioavailability limits their application as drugs. Our team develops methods to make these active peptides more stable, so that their ...
