We collaborate closely with the UAntwerp research groups led by Vincent Timmerman and Joachim Baets

Group Leader and Full Professor at UAntwerp

The Timmerman group studies gene mutations associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathies to understand the delicate balance between peripheral nerve homeostasis and degeneration. From genetics, his team proceeds with functional characterization of specific mutations in cell and animal models, and explores therapeutic approaches.

Group leader and Professor, Head of Neurology at University Hospital Antwerp

The research team studies the genetic basis and the clinical characteristics of neuromuscular diseases including peripheral neuropathies, myopathies and spastic paraplegias.
