Research from the group of Sarah Fendt reveals how succinate dehydrogenase is linked to both tumor and neurodegeneration
15 November 2016
Sarah-Maria Fendt (VIB-KU Leuven): “In this project we have studied mutations in the enzyme succinate dehydrogenase, which are associated with tumors, but also neurodegeneration.

Neat1 and SAMMSON: similar, yet different anti-cancer targets
12 November 2016
A team of researchers led by Chris Marine (VIB-KU Leuven) has shown that NEAT1, a long non-coding RNA, plays an important role in the survival of highly dividing cells – cancer cells in particular.
Catching a tumor in a spider’s web
10 November 2016
After a decade of research, the Belgian Switch Laboratory (VIB/KU Leuven) has revealed a new designer molecule that inhibits a well-validated cancer driver through the mechanism of amyloid formation.
Researchers reveal how neurodegenerative diseases spread through the brain
9 November 2016
Synapses play a pivotal role in the transmission of toxic proteins. This allows neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s to spread through the brain. This the main conclusion of new research led by Patrik Verstreken (VIB-KU Leuven).
Behavior of Alzheimer-linked protein is revealed
8 November 2016
A group of scientists from VIB, VUB and ULB led by Tom Lenaerts (VUB-ULB) and Nico van Nuland (VIB-VUB) uncovered a new mechanism for controlling the activation of a kinase implicated in Alzheimer’s disease
Researchers unravel viruses’ strategies to dodge immune systems
7 November 2016
Researchers led by Savvas Savvides (VIB-UGent) gained surprising insights into how viruses use proteins to inactivate the immune systems of their hosts.
Talking protein tags, novel ideas and tech innovation
5 November 2016
As one of our Expert Scientists, Sven Eyckerman knows all about the ‘tech’ in ‘biotechnology’. Together with his VIB-Ghent University research team, he has been working on several innovative biotechnologies.
UCL/VIB research shows that anti mycoticum fights Staphylococcus aureus
3 November 2016
Françoise Van Bambeke’s teams from the Louvain Drug Research Institute of UCL and Patrick Van Dijck’s teams from VIB and KU Leuven are opening up a new path in treating serious infections which affect patients in hospital.
Controlling plant regeneration systems may drive the future of agriculture
2 November 2016
Belgian scientists from VIB and Ghent University discovered a key protein complex that controls plant tissue repair. Understanding this mechanism is of great agricultural importance
Multidisciplinary approach for groundbreaking study on tumor epigenetics
29 October 2016
A group of researchers lead by Diether Lambrechts (VIB-KU Leuven) explored the mechanisms that cause increased levels of methylation in tumor genes — information that is vital to the adaptation of therapies to fight different types of tumors.
Now in e-book: format the GMO revolution
29 October 2016
Two years ago, Wim Grunewald (VIB IP manager) and Jo Bury (VIB Managing Director) wrote a book on how GMOs could be useful in solving current and future agricultural issues. Now, you can read the e-book on your tablet or e-reader for free.
Ghent is getting ready for the cancer research of the future
26 October 2016
Stepping up the fight against cancer by uniting more than 300 researchers and clinicians in one virtual institute? An ambitious feat, but Ghent is totally ready for it. The brand new Cancer Research Institute Ghent (CRIG) will be inaugurated.
Study reveals which genes are critical to a plant’s response to drought
25 October 2016
A team of VIB and Ghent University researchers set out to shed more light on this vital topic through a research initiative led by Professor Dirk Inzé. The study provided major insights into how plants cope with water-limiting conditions.
Highlighting chromosomal deletion to move cancer research forward
22 October 2016
By generating cells with chromosomal alterations that mimic human cancers, the team of Anna Sablina (VIB-KU Leuven) allows researchers to assess the role of particular chromosomal deletion in cancer development and progression.
