Strenghtening Research Practice in Biopharmaceu-tical In Silico Modelling through Scientific Compu-ting Ghent University
The researchproject MamaMito. KU Leuven
The research proposal 'MamaMito' aims to encourage the general public to prepare their maternal lineage lines (instead of just their classical paternal line), to expand them and make them available for scientific research.
Uniqueness of human tooth morphology in medical imaging for human dental identification purpose KU Leuven
Human dental identification (HDI) is based on the comparison of post-mortem (PM) and ante-mortem (AM) collected odontological evidences. The quality and quantity of these evidences play an essential role in providing a positive identification. In open identification cases positive dentalidentification is established under the assumption that the human dentition is unique for each individual.
In forensic identification practice an ...
Kit-based labeling of anti-CEA nanobodies for in vivo imaging and therapy of colorectal cancer KU Leuven
In Belgium, colorectal cancer is the third most diagnosed cancer in men and second most diagnosed cancer in women. For efficient treatment and follow-up of patients, it is important to know if the cancer has spread to distant sites (metastases). Positron emission tomography (PET) uses a scanner to track radioactive molecules in the body. Fluorine-18 (18F, a radioactive form of fluorine) is the radionuclide of choice for PET. However, the most ...
Imaging of receptor activator of the nuclear factor κ B ligand (RANKL) tumor microenvironment using immuno-positron emission tomography (PET) in models of head-and-neck and breast cancer. University of Antwerp
Development of novel cell death PET imaging probes for early treatment response assessment. University of Antwerp
Development and validation of optical imaging tools for advanced preclinical cancer research KU Leuven
The main aim of the current project lies in the development of a novel in vivo preclinical imaging system that allows researchers to study in a non-invasive manner interesting oncology-related parameters as a function of time at an unprecedented sensitivity. To reach this goal, a recently established imaging method called Aka-BLI will be used, in combination with existing probes to enable a rapid and cost-efficient method for ...
