In collaboration with EAN, 4BRAIN hosts the EAN Brain Health Strategy Chair (Dr. Emma Leschauwaet)

4BRAIN closely collaborates with the department of Neurology of Ghent University Hospital, more specifically the Center for Neurophysiological Monitoring (CNM) and Stroke Unit.

4BRAIN collaborates with CMST for development and testing of smart and flexible implants for combined electrical recording and optical stimulation in the brain.

The PBM group (UGent) collaborates with 4BRAIN and CMST for the development of photo-responsive hydrogel coatings for neural applications

The TIME Consortium brings together experts from 4Brain Lab, the Center for Care & Cure Technology Eindhoven, and the IT’IS team to unravel mechanisms of non-invasive temporal interference stimulation for treatment of epilepsy.

The laboratory of Medicinal Chemistry synthesis photocaged molecules which are tested at 4BRAIN in photopharmacological applications aiming at targeted therapy of focal epilepsy

The PreDiCT (Predictive Diagnostics through Contextual and Trustworthy AI) team of Ugent is collaborating with 4BRAIN for designing machine learning solutions helping with real-time detection of seizure and seizure-prone states

4BRAIN is collaborating with LECR for their ex vivo research on tissue fragments of resected glioblastoma brain tumors

4BRAIN collaborates with several Core Facilities of Ghent University to perform its research such as Core ARTH (Animals facilities, Histology and Infinity), Core Clinical Tissue & Cell Culture, Core Flow Cytometry and Core Zebrafish Facility.

4BRAIN collaborates with the Electromagnetics for Care & Cure (EM4C&C) lab of the Center for Care and Cure Eindhoven for investigating mechanisms and optimization of non-invasive neuromodulation therapies such as focused ultrasound, temporal interference (TI)-DBS and microwave-based neuromodulation.

Together with the Experimental Pharmacology Group of VUB 4BRAIN is forming the Alliance for Neuromodulation in Epilepsy (AMIE), recognized by the Flemish Research Fund. Research topics of AMIE include photopharmacology and noradrenergic modulation of astrocyte function in epilepsy.

In collaboration with TOBergmann lab associated with the Johannes Gutenberg University Medical Center Mainz and the Leibniz Institute for Resilience Research 4BRAIN is preforming preclinical research on the effects of focused ultrasound (FUS)-mediated blood brain barrier opening (BBBO) and neuromodulation. Researchers of 4BRAIN were trained at TOBergmann lab to perform FUS neuromodulation in humans.

4BRAIN is collaborating with the Hulleman group (Dr. Dennis Metselaar, Dr. Mariska Sie) of Princes Maxima Center Child Oncology to develop and test novel treatments for high grade glioma.

In collaboration with LPCM 4BRAIN is testing functional precision oncology platforms to perform personalized medicine for patients with glioblastoma brain cancer.

4BRAIN collaborates with several researchers of the Leuven Brain Institute. With Prof. dr. Koen Van Laere we are exploring mechanisms of cerebral amyloid angiopathy using high-definition PET. In collaboration with Prof. dr. Steven De Vleeschouwer we are studying noradrenergic modulation of glial function.
