The Department entered VIB in 1996 as a research group working on actin organization and using state-of-the-art protein chemistry. It then also formed the core of the Department of Biochemistry of the Faculty of Medicine of the Ghent University. While its original structure was highly integrated (the Department was smaller and researchers were younger), the actual structure is more segmented, though still reflecting the same basic lines of research.
