Constant innovation & active participation in translational research
University Hospitals KU Leuven
The future of university based urology departments lies in providing excellent clinical urology and offering the latest technology to patients. This can only be done by constant innovation and by active participation in translational research.
The Department of Urology at KU Leuven, Belgium, is therefore teaming up with a basic oncology laboratory, a stem cell laboratory and a laboratory for ion channel research - creating interactions between clinicians and fundamental researchers.
Internationalisation is another way of increasing the impact of a department with an active visiting scholarship program and specific scholarship programs drive the international exchange.
