A compact microscope for long term fluorescence imaging of live cells KU Leuven
IOF Proof of Concept: Development, realization and application of a prototype fluorescence lifetime camera system for Fluorescence-Guided Surgery (FGS). Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Quantum chemical investigations of anti-Kasha fluorescence KU Leuven
Kasha-like photochemical reactivity arises from the lowest energy excited state. Conversely, in some cases, photochemical events can also proceed from higher-lying excited states (i.e., Anti-Kasha photochemical events). My project aims to attain a deeper fundamental understanding of Anti-Kasha photochemical reactions occurring on the high-energy excited states potential energy surfaces of organometallic complexes and other interesting ...
Combined single-channel electrophysiology and fluorescence microscopy for fundamental studies of ion channel function Ghent University
Patch-clamp electrophysiology allows detailed investigations of ion channel function at the level of conformational changes in individual proteins in real-time. Combined with laser-scanning microscopy and fluorescent indicators, the technique allows to monitor additional signals that are involved in ion channel regulation. Overall, the approach is an essential tool for obtaining insight into the physiology/pharmacology of ion channels and ...
Biomonitoring of the Urban Habitat Quality through Chlorophyll Fluorescence." Hasselt University
Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). Rational design of fluorophores using a joined synthetic and computational chemistry approach Hasselt University
Next-generation fluorescence imaging for unraveling signaling pathways KU Leuven
In situ study of nucleation and growth during atomic layer deposition using synchrotron-based X-ray fluorescence and scattering techniques Ghent University
This project aims at an improved understanding of the nucleation and growth of atomic layer deposition (ALD) processes. In situ synchrotron-based x-ray fluorescence and grazing incidence small angle x-ray scattering will be used to obtain insights in the initial growth phase, in the evolution of the internal film structure, and in the evolution of surface topography during ALD on nanoparticles.
Laser illumination system for laser-based widefield fluorescence microscopy Ghent University
Laser-based widefield fluorescence microscopy is a unique technology for investigating the transport and stability of nanomedicines in biological media. The requested funding for the laser illumination system is esential to keep the unique laser-based widefield fluorescence microscope up and running in the coming years. Moreover, the new powerful lasers will enable us to introduce 'localization based super-resolution microscopy' at UGent.
