Single Cell
We're here to support your research with our single cell bioinformatics, microfluidics and spatial omics expertise.
We offer a wide range of applications for single cell research, including single-cell transcriptomics, epigenomics, and proteomics. We also offer high-quality bioinformatics support, with a focus on data analysis and interpretation of sequence data, specifically spatial and single-cell transcriptomics, at different stages of pathology.

VIB Single Cell Core
The VIB Single Cell Core is active within KU Leuven (Campus Gasthuisberg) and Ghent University (Technologiepark Zwijnaarde) offering robust single-cell technology workflows and methodologies. The core was established in 2021, capitalizing on the knowledge, expertise and existing service platforms within VIB.
KU Leuven Institute for Single Cell Omics
The KU Leuven Institute for Single Cell Omics (LISCO) unites researchers with expertise in single-cell and spatial multi-omics technology development and application.
