At UNamur, parchments are much more than objects of curiosity: they are at the heart of an interdisciplinary scientific adventure. Starting with historical sciences and conservation, the research has gradually incorporated the disciplines of physics, biology, chemistry, and archaeology.  This convergence has given rise to research in heritage sciences, driving innovative projects such as Marine Appart's doctoral work, supervised by Professor Olivier Deparis. This research has now been recognized with a publication in the prestigious journal Heritage Science (Nature Publishing Group).

To mark International Women's Day, celebrated on March 8, we invite you to discover the portraits of seven inspiring women from the university's seven faculties. Throughout March, a series of portraits of women from the university will be on display in various areas of the campus.

Supported by the SPW Research’s Win4SpinOff program and led by the University of Liège through its Mass Spectrometry Laboratory (MSLab, Faculty of Science) and the University of Namur through its Laboratory of Molecular Cancer Biology, (NARILIS, LBMC, Faculty of Medicine), the VENOM2 project explores the potential of peptides derived from animal venoms to develop new diagnostic and therapeutic solutions in oncology.

A new study conducted by researchers at UNamur confirms a fact that is still largely unknown to the general public: not all combined oral contraceptives expose women to the same risk of venous thrombosis. This research was conducted by Lucie Raskin, a researcher at the University of Namur, under the supervision of Professor Jonathan Douxfils, a specialist in thrombosis and the effects of hormones on coagulation. This represents a significant advance in public health.

Research in the Service of Medicine.Thanks to research in the biomedical field, our life expectancy has increased significantly. Whether through genetic research or new methods for detecting and treating diseases, the biomedical sciences are contributing more than ever to advances in medicine. By studying biomedical sciences, you’ll explore the scientific aspects of disease to better diagnose and treat it, becoming indispensable partners in the medicine of tomorrow. 

Your health is your most valuable asset. To manage pain and illness, you regularly rely on medications. Natural, synthetic, biosynthetic—the choices are vast. The pharmacist, a medication specialist, is here to advise you. You’re familiar with the community pharmacist, but pharmacy graduates can pursue many other careers to help improve our health and quality of life. 

The fight against disease is both a science and an art. Knowledge of the human body, diseases, and medications is the key to fighting disease. But the essence of the medical art is practiced through interaction with patients who seek a doctor who is thorough, with solid knowledge and sound reasoning, but also deeply warm and compassionate. 

In response to the growing shortage of general practitioners in rural areas, the University of Namur is launching a groundbreaking initiative to encourage future practitioners to explore these regions. This year, nine rural placement centers have been established in the provinces of Namur, Hainaut, and Luxembourg, enabling 26 students in the Master’s program specializing in general practice (a joint UNamur-UCLouvain degree) to complete an internship under conditions that facilitate their immersion. Designed to address barriers related to housing, transportation, and isolation, this pilot program has found a particularly promising first implementation in Chevetogne, in partnership with the Province of Namur and several municipalities.
