Welcome to the website of the Laboratory of Cell Biology and Histology, interfaculty research group of the Faculty of Pharmaceutical, Biomedical and Veterinary Sciences and the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. Our core activities are concentrated on gaining a better understanding of the cell biology of human physiology and disease using data-driven microscopy. Check out our research topics.
CBH runs the Antwerp Centre for Advanced Microscopy (ACAM), is founding member of the Centre of Excellence µNeuro and of the IOF-consortium for image based biomarkers IMARK.
Introducing AERIS, a new research platform to accelerate development of novel antimicrobials, immunotherapies and diagnostics targeting respiratory infections
Antimicrobial Evaluation for Respiratory and Infection Systems (AERIS) is a one-stop research platform supporting industrial partners from early discovery to clinical validation to accelerate development of novel antimicrobials, immunotherapies and diagnostics targeting respiratory infections. We enable pharma and biotech innovators to rapidly optimize and validate antimicrobial and diagnostic strategies and bring life-saving respiratory infection therapies closer to patients.

Congratulations to Our New FWO PhD Fellows
We are thrilled to announce that Aurélie Hofkens and Isa Decuypere have both been awarded a PhD fellowship from Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek - Vlaanderen (FWO). Aurélie will investigate pathogenic immune signaling pathways along the microbiome-gut-brain axis. Her project aims to uncover the role of Serum Amyloid A proteins in early immune-driven mechanisms of Alzheimer’s disease pathogenesis. Isa will investigate the role of nuclear fragility in glioblastoma aggressiveness and plasticity, with the aim of exposing potential new therapeutic entry points.
