The research of the Biochemistry Unit can be divided into seven subjects :

• studies on carbohydrate metabolism: deglycation of proteins (E. Van Schaftingen, M. Veiga-da-Cunha;http://www.icp.be/grm)
• characterisation of hereditary neurometabolic diseases (E. Van Schaftingen, M. Veiga-da-Cunha;http://www.icp.be/grm)
• metabolism of nucleoside analogues used in anticancerous therapy (F. Bontemps, E. Van Den Neste; http://www.icp.be/grm)
• genetic studies on (lymph)vascular anomalies, cardiopathies, cleft lip and palate, and cancer (M. Vikkula; http://www.icp.be/vikkula)
• the rational design of anti-trypanosome drugs (F. Opperdoes, P. Michels;http://www.icp.be/trop)
• oxidative protein folding (J.-F. Collet; http://www.icp.be/grm)

Diagnosis of hereditary diseases

• Instant imager
• Automatic DNA sequencing
• Microarrays (Affymetrix)
• HPLC
• dHPLC
