Kom op tegen Kanker - beurs EvdS (Robin Boiy): Function and biogenesis of extracellular vesicle subsets in ER+ breast cancer Ghent University
Fast and accurate cable fault localization using sensors integrated into cable ends and/or joints KU Leuven
This project focuses on developing sensors possibly integrated into a HVDC cable joint, for use in an online and/or offline fault localization measurement. By using measurements integrated into the cable joint, we are able to achieve a higher fault localization accuracy compared to measurements at the cable end given that attenuation and distortion of the wavefronts will be lower. Furthermore, it puts no special requirements on the location ...
beurs EVDS Arne Peirsman: Design of a 3D printed and perfused breast cancer metastasis model (3D PAP Be CAME model) Ghent University
The research project focusses on designing a model that mimics breast cancer metastasis. Today, 90% of breast cancer (BC) death is cased be metastasis. This is largely because we are still unable to understand the mechanisms of metastatic progression. Consequently, we are unable to drug and treat to cure metastatic disease. Better models of cancer metastasis will lead to more fundamental insights. Drug evaluation using this model will enable ...
beurs EVDS Sofie Van Dorpe: Extracellular vesicles as blood-based biomarker for early stage ovarian cancer Ghent University
Ovarian cancer is a silent killer. Early stage ovarian cancer is difficult to diagnose because most symptoms are subtle and thus of little use in diagnosis. As a result, the diagnosis is rarely made until the cancer spreads and advances to later stages. If diagnosed and treated in an early stage, ovarian cancer is often curable. However, when diagnosed in a late clinical stage, ovarian cancer is associated with a 5-year survival of only 35%. ...
Beurs EVDS Siebe Loontiens: Unraveling the functionality of PHF6 in normal and malignant T-cell development and its cooperativity with established oncogenes through zebrafish modeling Ghent University
The research project focusses on designing a model that mimics breast cancer metastasis. Today, 90% of breast cancer (BC) death is caused by metastasis. This is largely because we are still unable to understand the mechanisms of metastatic progression. Consequently, we are unable to drug and treat to cure metastatic disease. Better models of cancer metastasis will lead to more fundamental insights. Drug evaluation using this model will ...
Startersbeurs EVDS Lisa Depestel: The chromatin modifier PHF6 as adaptor in gene-gating coupled replicative stress in neuroblastoma and T-ALL Ghent University
starter scholarship EVDS Ruben De Coen: OncoRham Ghent University
Cancer remains a leading cause of death and traditional treatment options for cancer patients include surgicalresection, direct irradiation and cytotoxic chemotherapy, all of which are prone to causing severe side effects. Recently, immune-engineering, has emerged as an exciting new field of research. Currently, the field is dominated by monoclonal antibodies or cell-based therapeutics which involve an extreme cost of development and ...
