Our main Center-level strategic approach is technological innovation-driven, inspired by solving selected biomedical research, diagnostics, and therapeutic challenges for which we believe that our particular technological innovations could have the largest impact.
Our PIs are selected for high diversity in their molecular methodological areas of expertise, to ensure the areas within the Center: Bioanalytics and Bioinformatics and Molecular and Cellular Bio-engineering. Together with a strong focus on medical (research) applications, these are the core defining elements on which we build the Center’s identity.
VIB: 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.
UGent: Ghent University is a top 100 university and one of the major universities in Belgium, founded in 1817. Our 11 faculties offer a wide range of courses and conduct in-depth research within a wide range of scientific domains. We are a pluralistic university that is open to all students, regardless of their ideological, political, cultural, or social background. Our credo is ‘Dare to think’.
