New treatments for pets at the Clinique Vétérinaire Universitaire (ULiège): radiotherapy and extracorporeal therapies
New veterinary treatments for pets that are unique in Belgium and rare in neighbouring European regions.
Benjamin G. Dewals, a F.R.S.-FNRS Research Associate at the FARAH Research Unit (Faculty of Veterinary Medicine) is the winner of the biennial Princess Josephine Charlotte 2019 Study Centre Award. This prize rewards the scientist's research in the field of viral infections and more particularly in the study of host-pathogen interactions during infections - notably - by gammaherpesviruses.
E
ndowed with 12.500€, the biennial Princess Josephine Charlotte Prize of the Study Centre wishes to encourage scientific research in the field of virology and rewards a scientific research achievement in the field of viral infections, related to health. This year this prize was awarded to Benjamin G. Dewals, F.R.S.-FNRS Research Associate at the Fundamental and Applied Research for Animals & Health (FARAH) in the ULiège Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. He is rewarded for his research in the field of viral infections, and more particularly on the understanding of host-pathogen interactions using several aspects and several models of viral infection and also of co-infection involving other pathogens such as parasitic worms.
The research of Benjamin Dewals and his team aims to better understand how persistent pathogens such as gammaherpesviruses or helminths can modulate the host immune system in the long term in order to persist but also the side effects of such modulations. By examining the interactions and the different responses in the host, Benjamin Dewals' team wishes to better understand how to control important viral infections.

Ce samedi 20 avril, nos campus de Liège et de Gembloux ouvraient leurs portes aux futurs étudiants. Retour sur cette journée qui sentait bon la découverte (et la gaufre de Liège).
2026 marquera les 200 ans de la cristallerie du Val Saint Lambert. L’Université de Liège a décidé de réaliser une exposition portant sur le verre dans la société actuelle.
