VIB, the Flanders Interuniversity Institute
for Biotechnology, is a research institute where 850 scientists and
technicians conduct gene technological research in a number of
life-science domains, such as human health care and plant systems
biology. Through a close cooperation with four Flemish universities
(Ghent University, the Catholic University of Leuven, the University of
Antwerp, and the Free University of Brussels) and a solid funding
program for strategic basic research, VIB unites the forces of nine
university science departments in a single institute. Through its tech
transfer activities, VIB strives to convert the research results into
products for consumers and patients. VIB also distributes scientifically
substantiated information about all aspects of biotechnology to the
general public. |
