About us
VIB’s core mission is to generate disruptive insights in the molecular underpinning of life and to translate these actively into impactful innovations for patients and society. VIB is an independent research institute where some 1,800 top scientists from Belgium and abroad conduct pioneering basic research. As such, they are pushing the boundaries of what we know about molecular mechanisms and how they rule living organisms such as human beings, animals, plants, and microorganisms. Based on a close partnership with five Flemish universities – Ghent University, KU Leuven, University of Antwerp, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, and Hasselt University – and supported by a solid funding program, VIB unites the expertise of all its collaborators and research groups in a single institute. VIB’s technology transfer activities translate research results into concrete benefits for society such as new diagnostics and therapies and agricultural innovations. These applications are often developed by young start-ups from VIB or through collaborations with other companies. This also leads to additional employment and bridges the gap between scientific research and entrepreneurship. VIB also engages actively in the public debate on biotechnology by developing and disseminating a wide range of science-based information

🎉 The Bio-Incubator family keeps growing! Stay tuned for new tenants and great translational science.
Our fifth Bio-Incubator is now officially open for business! 👨🔬👩💻 Just two years after the previous building with lab and office space for start-ups and scale-ups in biotech, another Bio-Incubator is now in use at the Arenberg Science Park – already the fifth in a row. The new high-tech building puts Leuven even more on the map as a hub for innovation in biotechnology and the broader life sciences. 📍 This Bio-Incubator 5 has a usable area of 3,300 m², of which more than half has already been leased today – less than six months after its completion. Among the first tenants were the KU Leuven spin-off AstriVax and research group Trellis. Once again, KU Leuven Research & Development, VIB and Life Sciences Research Partners (LSRP) are the driving forces behind the state-of-the-art incubator. With their initiative, they provide facility support to promising R&D-driven companies so the latter can invest in growth and not bricks! 📈 For more information: https://lnkd.in/ewBY369K #lifesciences #researchvalorization #LRD
