We're here to support your research with our biophysics expertise.

The Switch Laboratory at VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research established the expertise platform Molecular Biophysics Leuven. We utilise molecular biophysical techniques and instruments in our daily research, measuring protein folding, conformation and stability, as well as interactions betweens proteins, DNA and other biomolecules. We host state-of-the-art equipment and offers expertise and training to other research groups.
