About
The Antwerp Center for Translational Immunology and Virology (ACTIV) is part of the Vaccine & Infectious Disease Institute (VAXINFECTIO) at the University of Antwerp.
Within ACTIV we start from a clinical context (i.e. diseases, problems, challenges) and use a multidisciplinary/interdisciplinary approach to
- obtain a better understanding of the underlying pathophysiology
- in order to improve diagnostics, risk stratification and therapeutics
In collaboration with several close (national and international) collaborators we focus on
- (paediatric) rheumatology
- predictive immunosequencing in vaccinology and infectious diseases
- varicella-zoster virus (chickenpox & herpes zoster)
We work closely together with the Antwerp Unit for Data Analysis and Computation in Immunology and Sequencing (AUDACIS). To discover more about our publications you visit the AUDACIS website.
