is a non-profit research institute in the life sciences. Some 1100 technicians
and scientists conduct strategic basis research on molecular mechanisms that
control the functioning of the human body, plants, and micro-organisms. Through
a close partnership with four Flemish universities – Ghent University, the
Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, the University of Antwerp, and the Vrije
Universiteit Brussel - and a solid investment program, VIB unites the forces of
65 research groups in a single institute. Their research aims at fundamentally
extending the frontiers of our knowledge. Through its technology transfer
activities, VIB strives to convert the research results into products for the
benefit of consumers and patients. VIB also develops and distributes a broad
range of scientifically substantiated information about all aspects of
biotechnology. More info on: <a href="http://www.vib.be">www.vib.be</a><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>The
VIB MicroArray Facility (MAF- based at K.U.Leuven) provides an assortment of
fee-based services for biological questions in the transcriptomics and genomics
fields to VIB and non-VIB scientists throughout Flanders. Besides being an
institutional service provider and core-lab for both Affymetrix® and Agilent®
microarray platforms, the MAF team offers full service for transcriptomics data
analyses and in house made custom cDNA arrays. In addition to arrays, the
nCounter® Analysis system is available to perform non-enzymatic medium
throughput expression quantification studies. Also, bioinformatics services
(i.e. assistance with storage, analysis and interpretation of data) are part of
the MAF service package. More info on: <a href="http://www.microarrays.be">www.microarrays.be</a><o:p></o:p></span></p>
