Invasive salmonellosis in the Democratic Republic of the Congo KU Leuven
Invasive salmonellosis comprise deep-seated infections with Salmonella Typhi as well as with the Non-Typhoidal Salmonella (NTS), which are the main cause of bloodstream infections in sub-Saharan Africa. Invasive salmonellosis is associated with a high case fatality rate (up to 25% for NTS bloodstream infections in children) and increasing resistance to multiple antibiotics. Although recognized as a public health problem, their exact incidence ...

Lipid profiling of cancer tissue: possibilities for cancer subtyming and applications for diagnosis and therapy. KU Leuven
Lung cancer is the deadliest of all cancers in the world. Particularly non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is very prevalent and accounts for 80% of all lung cancer cases. One of the key problems in the management of NSCLC is the high failure rate of existing treatments, urging the need for new molecular biomarkers and novel therapeutic targets. So far, most efforts towards this molecular characterization have been carried out at the level of ...
