Our science, our people, our story |
What does VIB actually do? Our new brand video invites you into a world driven by curiosity, fundamental research, and translating discoveries into impact. But VIB is more than the science. It is also the researchers, technicians, experts, support teams, and many others who make discovery possible. |

One starting point, many immune cells |
|
Researchers led by Renzo Mancuso (VIB-UAntwerp Center for Molecular Neurology) and Bart De Strooper (VIB-KU Leuven Center for Neuroscience) developed a human stem-cell model to recreate an early chapter of human immune development and investigate how cells acquire different identities. |

Making brain tumors easier to remove |
|
Researchers led by Gabriele Bergers (VIB-KU Leuven Center for Cancer Biology) discovered how immune cells in the brain can help glioblastoma invade healthy tissue. By disrupting communication between these immune cells and tumor cells, the researchers were able to make tumors less invasive and easier to remove surgically. |

Bayer Foundation Early Excellence Award |
|
Colinda Scheele (VIB-KU Leuven Center for Cancer Biology) has received a Bayer Foundation Early Excellence Award, which recognizes outstanding early-career researchers. Her research explores breast cancer biology and how cancer cells interact with their surrounding environment, with the aim of better understanding the earliest stages of tumor development. |

What makes VIB, VIB? |
|
What do colleagues across VIB associate with the institute? We asked them to describe VIB in just one word. The answers are as diverse as our community, but together they offer a glimpse of the curiosity, ideas, and people that have shaped VIB. 30 years. Many words. One institute. |
