L’espace est devenu le lieu d’importants enjeux économiques et stratégiques. Membre de l’Alliance européenne UNIVERSEH, l’UNamur explore cette thématique spatiale dans ses différents départements, de la physique à la géologie, en passant par les mathématiques, l’informatique ou la philosophie. Sans oublier de s’adresser au grand public, que les étoiles font toujours rêver...

Since September 2023, Marc Hennequart, Professor of Biochemistry and Cell Biology at UNamur, has been conducting groundbreaking research into pancreatic cancer. His team, based at the Faculty of Medicine and the Institut Narilis, studies the early stages of oncogenesis (the process of transforming a normal cell into a cancerous one) to better understand the metabolic changes behind this particularly aggressive cancer.

The TineaDiag project is a research project run by UNamur and ULiège with funding from the SPW Research Win²WAL program. It tackles dermatophytoses, skin infections responsible for ringworm, which can affect both humans and animals. The aim? To identify, in dermatophytes, precise cellular markers in order to detect them with sensitivity and certainty, and thus identify infections caused by antifungal-resistant strains.
