BIOMED

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Biomedical Research Institute or BIOMED (Biomedisch Onderzoeksinstituut) was founded on 1 January 1999 to combine the expertise of the former Dr. L. Willems-Instituut and the Medical faculty of the University of Hasselt (Belgium). The institute is located in Diepenbeek, Belgium.

The research topics of the institute are auto-immune disorders, e.g. multiple sclerosis and reumatoid arthritis, and the more general pathophysiological mechanisms of cell-damage and cell-death, such as cytokines, toxins and ischemia.
