From excellence in cancer research to value for society

About us

The ambition of the Center for Cancer Biology (CCB) is to contribute to a better understanding of the biology underlying cancer initiation, progression and metastatic dissemination. We aim to identify novel biomarkers for the early detection, monitoring of cancer progression and therapy response and, ultimately, develop more effective anticancer therapies. --- VIB’s core mission is to generate disruptive insights into 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. --- KU Leuven is Europe’s most innovative university (Reuters) and ranks 45th in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings. As Belgium's largest university, KU Leuven welcomes 60,000 students from over 140 countries. Its 7,000 researchers are active in a comprehensive range of disciplines. KU Leuven is a founding member of the League of European Research Universities (LERU) and has a strong European and international orientation. University Hospitals Leuven, its network of research hospitals, provides high-quality healthcare and develops new therapeutic and diagnostic insights with an emphasis on translational research.
