Technology
Technology is the engine that powers discovery at the VIB‑KU Leuven Center for Neuroscience. Our researchers work side‑by‑side with expert technologists to access state‑of‑the‑art microscopes, cutting‑edge rodent, zebrafish, and fly models, high‑quality biophysics, electrophysiology, flow cytometry, single cell, and next‑generation sequencing platforms, and human model systems ranging from patient tissue to iPSCs.
As neuroscience evolves at high speed, we evolve with it. Our technology experts collaborate closely with research groups to turn ambitious ideas into workable, groundbreaking science. Whether you’re looking for cutting‑edge tools, specialized training, or collaborative innovation, our technology ecosystem is built to accelerate discovery — and to make sure every researcher has the support they need to push neuroscience forward.
