Mucin isoform-microbiome crosstalk shaping the course of COVID-19: a help in patient stratification? University of Antwerp
CONDITIONAL: COvid-19: iNterplay between genetic preDisposITION and immunologicAl Landscape Ghent University
This prospective, multidisciplinary and multicentric study aims to gain insights into genetic defects, immunological pathways, and expression shifts that may render some individuals more prone to severe COVID-19. Integrated multi-omics analysis will be used to identify critical host genes and
pathways involved in the infectious process and pathophysiological mechanisms in previously healthy young individuals with severe COVID-19.

Investigating the added value of machine learning and Twitter data for public health organizations during COVID19 Ghent University
The aim of this research project is to provide a decision support system to public health organizations that enables them to respond to several issues that arise during crisis situations, such as the one caused by COVID19. The current COVID19 crisis is a pandemic that has led most countries around the world to be in lock down. Such circumstances can lead to public unrest and it is therefore crucial that governments and health authorities ...

Translational research related to Corona-Covid 19 KU Leuven
The unpredictability of the COVID-19 disease course poses a major burden on health care and economic systems across the world. This is mainly caused by a lack of in-depth knowledge of the diverse host factors that dictate COVID-19’s severity. While it is known that the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 can become heavily dysregulated leading to patients’ admissions to intensive care units, the details of how and when this happens remain largely ...
