Privacy preserving data and knowledge fusion in personalized biomedicine KU Leuven
In our research we will investigate privacy preserving data and knowledge fusion methods in personalized medicine, and specifically privacy preservation at both levels: at the level of a single data set containing potentially sensitive, personal samples and in a multi-centric context with distributed, privately owned data sets.

BioMedAqu: Aquaculture meets Biomedicine: Innovation in Skeletal Health research Ghent University
Skeletal anomalies in farmed fish are a continuous problem for global aquaculture, affecting fish welfare, performance, and product quality. Aquaculture research has made considerable progress in reducing the incidence of deformities, but new species, intensified production, the damned for sterile fish, delicate early life stages and new fish feed ingredients are a continuous challenge. The use of zebrafish (Danio rerio) and medaka (Oryzias ...

Development and application of advanced X-ray imaging methodologies for the analysis of unique extra-terrestrial materials Ghent University
In various scientific disciplines (e.g. cosmo- and geochemistry, environmental sciences, toxicology and biomedicine), there is a strong demand to develop techniques that enable linking the (quantitative) spatial distribution of chemical elements within the investigated materials to their three-dimensional (3D) internal morphology/structure down to nanoscopic resolution levels. This project will significantly advance non-destructive 3D ...

Luminescent nanothermometers for theranostics Ghent University
For diagnostic purposes temperature measurements in biomedicine are of key importance, as temperature plays an essential role in biological systems. For example, conditions such as inflammations and diseases such as cancer are accompanied by hyperlocal temperature changes in tissues. For biomedical applications measurements in the temperature range 20 – 50 ºC are essential (the so-called physiological range). Although detecting the ...
