Basic and Early Translational Stem Cell Biology Program

Interactive program, unique in Flanders, to
  • Gain molecular insights in de-differentiation and differentiation of stem cells
  • Develop markers for the identity and potency of different stem cells
  • Assess the fate (differentiation, homing/migration) of stem cells in animal models in vivo
  • Assess immune repercussions of stem cells grafted in vivo

 

Ultimate goal: to use stem cells or their progeny for clinical applications in regenerative medicine, drug and toxicity screens, and tissue engineering
