In the news
- Win4SpinOff supports VENOM2 in exploring the potential of venom-derived peptides in oncology VENOM2 (Venom-based Exploration for Novel Oncology Molecules) aims to explore the unique potential of peptides derived from animal venoms and their applications in precision oncology. The project has recently received funding from Win4SpinOff, a programme run by SPW Research that supports the maturation of research results with a view to creating spin-off companies in Wallonia. VENOM2 brings together complementary scientific strengths
- Intercept Bio: Towards a nasal spray to prevent viral respiratory infections Intercept Bio is a recently created spin-off founded jointly by UCLouvain and UNamur. Its ambition is to develop an innovative nasal spray designed to intercept respiratory viruses at one of the earliest stages of infection, when they attach to human cells. The project emerged from a unique interuniversity collaboration that brought together complementary areas of expertise. At UCLouvain (LIBST), David Alsteens is head of the NanoBiophysics lab,
- NARILIS radiobiology research recognized with “First Abstract Submission Prize” at PTCOG 64 ! Radiobiology research conducted at NARILIS has received international recognition at the 64th Annual Conference of the Particle Therapy Cooperative Group (PTCOG 64), held in Deauville from June 8–13, 2026. The team led by Anne-Catherine Heuskin was awarded the First Abstract Submission Prize for research exploring how gold nanoparticles make tumor cells more sensitive to radiotherapy and promote anti-cancer immune responses. These
