An alliance between life science and technologies, biotechnologies are applied in many fields such as health, agriculture or industry.
The research theme of the Faculty Research Unit AGROBIOCHEM focuses on the valorisation of bioproducts related to the production of bio-resources. The research conducted there is aimed at developing food and non-food bioproducts through the transformation and exploitation of bio-resources, with the aim of improving the quality of life and the well-being of human and animal populations, all while preserving the environment.
The Faculty Research Unit BIOSE (Bio-Systems Engineering) brings together a set of teams (axes) leading their research in the field of sustainable management of natural and man-made areas. All the activities carried out are part of a conceptual logic: Measure, Quantify, Model - Understand and Interpret - Manage and Valorise.
The d-BRU is specialised in Biomaterials (particular dental), from their in vitro and in vivo studies to clinical research. Research revolves around 2 research focuses: implantable biomaterials on the one hand, and restorative biomaterials on the other. The first focus is more particularly dedicated to tissue regeneration biomaterials and dental implants, as well as their biological interaction with the living tissue, whereas the second focus studies the biomaterials intended for the restoration and regeneration of dental tissues, as well as prosthetic biomaterials in generals, whether dental or for implant. Research in dental biomaterials is characterised by its interdisciplinary and translational nature.
The FARAH is the structural interdisciplinary research centre of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Liège, which manages the structural resources of the research institution. The activities carried out by the members of FARAH belong to one of these three specialised sectors: comparative veterinary medicine, sustainable animal production and veterinary public health. The FARAH is the new Structural interdisciplinary research centre of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Liège, which manages the structural resources of the institute dedicated to research.
The research unit integrates fundamental and applied research in the aquatic domain. Its general theme is to carry out studies on the characterisation, understanding and modelling of the physical environment of aquatic ecosystems to maintain and/or restore their good environmental status and promote the goods and services provided by these ecosystems to businesses. In particular, the goal is to understand the dynamics of the ocean and inland waters and the interactions between organisms and their habitat.
The themes of the GIGA-Research research unit cover the field of biomedical sciences in the broad sense of the term. There are the following themes: cancer, neuroscience, immunity, inflammation and infections, cardiovascular sciences, medical genomics, molecular biology of disease, medicine in silico and imaging in vivo, and cyclotron. All GIGA-Research researchers are associated with one of these thematic units (UT), thus allowing for effective collaborations between researchers, the development of joint seminars and, above all, to make it easy to arrange an assessment of the research according to well-defined themes.
The multidisciplinary research led within the unit concerns understanding life from the functional and evolutionary point of view, from the level of the molecule, cells and organisms to that of complex biological systems:
The research unit MolSys brings together scientists having as common research topic the study of molecular systems, notably systems of biological interest. The research led requires the use of a wide range of theoretical and experimental methods that affect the synthesis of biologically active compounds, the characterisation of their structure and their properties, their dosage, the analysis of their interactions and their modelling. They use mass spectrometry or molecular imaging techniques, manufacturing processes and continuous organic synthesis and microfluidics (for the synthesis of complex organic compounds). The expertise in theoretical calculation and modelling completes the available resources
The TERRA Research Centre is a new interfaculty research unit of Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech whose mission is to develop research in biological engineering applied to agronomy, biotechnology and the environment. One of the main objectives of TERRA is to develop transversality and exchanges between researchers from different disciplines. Interfaculty and international scientific collaboration is therefore essential. TERRA is also a structure that is closely connected with the corporate world. To support its researchers, TERRA is developing a specific strategy for finding funding and setting up international projects.
3 CARE (Research and Teaching Support Units) are associated with TERRA
Facilities and equipment
The CART's mission is to develop new concepts in analytical chemistry and data analysis, to lead research in the field of organic and inorganic compound analysis in foodstuffs, in animal products and in other biological and environmental materials, to carry out, on behalf of third parties, studies and analyses on organic and inorganic pollutants in foodstuffs, in animal products and in other biological and environmental materials, and to lead research on the effects of compounds and on their interactions with biological systems.
GIGA's technological platform is the result of the pooling of a set of technological and human resources in order to offer cutting-edge services to researchers from the academic and industrial worlds. It brings together advanced technologies and high-level skills in the following areas: genomics, proteomics, cell imaging, preclinical and clinical, flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, viral vectors, bioinformatics (genomics and imaging) and animal experimentation (Zebrafish and mice). In order to remain at the forefront of innovation and meet the challenges proposed by scientists and companies, the ERDF has enabled the platforms to hire experts in the various fields as well as the acquisition of exceptional equipment (BIOMED HUD Technology Support).
Different Plant Biology laboratories have developed complementary skills in the development of whole plant or microalgae farming systems. These skills are recognised outside the institution and mean that the laboratories concerned are regularly contacted for scientific collaborations or external services using their farming systems.
Located in the heart of the University of Liège (Belgium) and physically integrated into the University Hospital (CHU) of Liège, the GIGA is a major centre for research and activity development in the field of biotechnologies.
The TERRA Research Centre, located in Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech, brings together 175 teachers and researchers working in biological engineering applied to agronomy, biotechnology and the environment. This new multidisciplinary and international research centre, a unique structure in Wallonia, promotes scientific collaborations and interactions with the business world.
