Centre Spatial de Liège – CSL – Liège Space Centre: Developing space technologies for Earth and Space monitoring
A research centre operated by the University of Liège (Université de Liège), the Liège Space Centre (CSL) is employing 100 people and leading almost 60 projects for an annual turnover of €19 M. It has the advantage of being a non-profit research organisation, with a funding from industrial contracts and R&D collaborations. Spatial qualification testing, design of optical instruments for use in space, development of thermal, mechanical and electronic engineering expertise, technological partnerships for R&D projects, scientific space missions, expertise in cryogenic cooling… 🧑🚀 🛰️ 🌌
Laboratory of Medical Chemistry – ULiège: Towards a better understanding of tumour development in the intestine
The ULiège Laboratory of Medical Chemistry team, directed by Prof. Alain Chariot, is essentially dedicated to biomedical research. The laboratory has developed expertise in the dissection of molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying tumour development, primarily in the intestine. Its researchers are also interested in the molecular mechanisms through which patients develop resistance to anti-cancer treatments. Finally, they are also generating ex-vivo ‘mini-guts’ which they use as experimental models to better understand how intestinal epithelial cells differentiate from stem cells. 🧪 👨🔬
Group of Research and Applications in Statistical Physics (GRASP) – ULiège: The unsuspected applications of soft matter
Created in 2000, GRASP brings together around twenty researchers, including five senior scientists, who explore the fascinating world of soft matter, a field initiated by Nobel Prize winner Pierre-Gilles de Gennes. Each year, GRASP publishes about ten articles in high-impact journals and coordinates some fifteen active research projects. 🪨 🧼
