A research team led by Professor Claudia Spits at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) has made significant strides in understanding and improving the safety of stem cell therapies.

Dr. Barbara Gravel of the AI Laboratory at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) and the Interuniversity Institute of Bioinformatics at the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), has developed innovative bioinformatics techniques that shed new light on the genetic causes of complex diseases. Her PhD research focused on understanding how combinations of genetic variants, rather than single mutations, contribute to conditions such as cardiac disorders, hearing loss, visual impairment, and male infertility.
