ECOOM 2019-2023: Expertise centre O&O Monitoring

- develop and maintain an efficient system of R&D and innovation indicators that must provide the Flemish government with up-to-date and relevant statistical data on the R&D and innovation performance of Flanders.
- calculate parameters in the context of the decree financing channels
provide statistical data for R&D and innovation in the context of ...

SPEED-XM: SPectral Evaluation and Enhanced Deconvolution by eXtensive (Statistical) Modelling. Hasselt University

Dirk VALKENBORG
Centre for Statistics
A number of key-operations in pharmaceutical development, rely on a correct and timely evaluation of spectral data: e.g, liquid chromatography- mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and solid state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (ssNMR) are used for compound characterization and MS in a gas-phase setting is used to monitor the headspace of a chemical reactor during the production process of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Nowadays, high amounts ...

The Quest for Global Talent: (Top) Management Teams, Nationality Diversity, and Firm Performance Hasselt University

Innovation Management, Economics and Public Policy
In an increasingly competitive global environment, firms face the challenge to attract talented and highly skilled employees. Hence, firms often look abroad to hire talent. This also applies to the most important employees of the firm: the executives in its Top Management Team (TMT). In this project, we investigate if and when internationalization of the TMT affects corporate outcomes. In particular, we focus on TMTs ability to influence ...

Evaluating cardiovascular and blood pressure profiles throughout pregnancy and in response to medication in patients at high risk for or diagnosed with GHD: opportunities for improving patient-tailored therapy. Hasselt University

Wilfried GYSELAERS
Cardio & organ systems
Adaptation of the maternal cardiovascular (CV) system to pregnancy occurs in the first weeks of gestation to supply fetal and placental oxygen and nutrients in a high-volume, low-resistance circulation. CV maladaptation underlies the etiology of gestational hypertensive disorders (GHD). Our research group already observed trimestral GHD-subtype specific CV differences. However, current management of GHD does not take these underlying ...

Rare disease patient organisations, biobanks, and biomedical innovation KU Leuven

Ine Van Hoyweghen
Centre for Sociological Research

Since the 1990s, a growing number of rare disease patient organisations have set up their own biobanks and registries to serve as resources for laboratory and clinical researchers. As a number of studies have shown, patient organisations’ control of access to these resources enables them to play an active role in promoting, coordinating and directing research into their particular disease, with the professed aim of ensuring that such research ...

Hybrid stimuli responsive nanocarriers containing persistent luminescence nanoparticles: Applications in biosensing / bioimaging and theranostics Hasselt University

Materials Physics
In recent years, advances in modern medicine have rendered nanomedicine an inevitable option for advanced health care. To this extent, the design and development of drug delivery systems for deadly disease such as cancer is highly sought as it has a large impact on patient survival and improved quality of life. Drug delivery system offers additional in vivo stability by protecting the drug from degradation in the bloodstream, enhancing drug ...

Methodology for determining challenging road sections in term of road safety for powered two-wheelers on rural roads Hasselt University

Construction engineering
Despite advances in road safety, the problem of injuries and traffic crashes is still very prominent, especially for vulnerable roads users, among whom Powered Two-Wheelers (PTW) are included. Injuries and deaths are not only problematic for the family or friends but are also a societal concern. The proposed doctoral research deals with the factors and circumstances that contribute to the occurrence of the traffic crashes that involve PTWs. ...

OWB mandate Katrien Jansen: Sources of Financing for Family Businesses Hasselt University

Anneleen MICHIELS
Governance, Accountancy & Finance
Family firms are considered to be the backbone of the economy. Their access to different sources of finance, as well as their willingness to attract financing sources in order to execute valuable investment projects, is crucial for each economy. Even though prior studies indicate that financing decisions in family firms differ substantially from non-family firms, current research is not able to identify why financing decisions differ in family ...

Unravelling Discoloration Mechanisms of Red Organic Pigments in Historical Art Works (RED-OPEN). University of Antwerp

Koen Janssens
Toxicological Centre, AXES (Antwerp X-ray Analysis, Electrochemistry and Speciation)
An important issue encountered in the historical artworks is the fading of the original colors because of their strong light sensitivity, infamously leading to the discoloration of masterworks even within an artist's lifetime. This phenomenon is clearly evidenced in many paintings of 19th century European impressionist artists, such as van Gogh, in particular when Organic Red Pigments (ORP) have been used. The identification of these ORP in ...
