We aim to discover novel biochemical mechanisms involved in human diseases.
We are convinced that a thorough understanding of these mechanisms is a prerequisite for the development of novel therapies in cancer and beyond.
The metabolic research pole in the department of biochemistry consists of research groups headed by Guido Bommer, Maria Veiga-Da-Cunha and Emile Van Schaftingen. We are part of the de Duve Institute (www.deduveinstitute.be) at the Université Catholique de Louvain (www.uclouvain.be). In our work we use a wide array of methods in molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry and mass spectrometry. While most of our research is strongly hypothesis-driven, we are open to serendipitous discoveries that sometimes lead us far from areas of our expertise.
