Hanne Landuyt

Hanne Landuyt is a researcher at the Clinical Trial Centre of the Institute of Tropical Medicine (ITG) in Antwerp, Belgium. Her work focuses on clinical investigations of visceral leishmaniasis in resource-limited settings, particularly in Ethiopia.

Her research interests center on:

• Visceral Leishmaniasis pathogenesis and immune mechanisms
• HIV coinfection dynamics in endemic regions
• Transcriptome analysis for biomarker discovery
• Clinical trial design for tropical diseases
• Epidemiological modeling of disease progression

Landuyt's 2024 publications reveal a strong emphasis on translational research, combining laboratory-based immunological studies with field epidemiology in Ethiopian cohorts. Her work bridges basic science and clinical application to address treatment challenges in coinfected populations.

She operates within ITG's Clinical Trial Centre framework, collaborating extensively with Ethiopian research teams and international partners like Médecins Sans Frontières on the PreLeisH study. This network supports her field-based investigations into Leishmania infection markers and immune responses.
