A smart tool for governance towards flood-resilient cities.
Synthesis and Evaluation of novel Multifunctional Labels for Expansion Microscopy KU Leuven
Expansion microscopy (ExM), a relatively new super-resolution imaging method, enables visualization of biological targets at nanoscale resolution on diffraction limited microscopes. Since its invention in 2015, ExM has aroused a tremendous attention and various ExM variants have been developed to simplify its usage and increase the imaging resolution that can be achieved. However, through common biomolecule-grafting methods, ExM is limited to ...
quantum dots as luminescent labels for multi-mycotoxin detection Ghent University
quantum dots are inorganic luminescent nanocrystals, exhibiting intense stable size-dependent luminescence. this allows simultaneous excitation of different particles at single wavelength wiht emission at multiple wavelengths. in the case of mycotoxin's detection it is imporant to define several toxicants simultaneously in one sample at low concentration. Quantum dot-based immunochemical rapid tests for sensitive simultaneous mycotoxins ...

Leverage of a non-invasive clinical decision support tool for antibiotic allergy label delabeling and refinement beyond hospital use. KU Leuven
Antibiotic allergy labels (AAL) are observed in 7% of inpatient's charts (Gilissen et al., Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology In Practice, 2021). Although they are often incorrect, they are associated with increased length of hospital stay, and use of second-line and broad-spectrum antibiotics (Gilissen et al., submitted). We recently prospectively evaluated, for the first time in Europe, a non-invasive delabeling protocol in adult ...
Assesment of the impact of a non-invasive clinical decision support tool for antibiotic allergy label delabeling and refinement KU Leuven
Our final goal is to initiate a more proactive antibiotic allergy delabeling strategy in Belgium, instead of the ‘urgency’-driven approach that is mostly performed in clinical practice nowadays (i.e., when patients are in high need of the respective antibiotic (class), or are triggered to investigate their antibiotic allergy label due to, e.g., a perceived reaction or upcoming surgery). Currently, the standard approach is invasive skin and ...
Nutri-Score: whether, why, how and for whom this food label works. Ghent University
This project focuses on the Nutri-Score, the front-of-pack nutrition label considered as most promising to stimulate healthy food choices in the grocery store. The goal of this project is threefold. First, we investigate whether, why and for whom the Nutri-Score works. We expect the Nutri-Score to work, but possibly in different ways for different people. On the one hand, exposure to the Nutri-Score might automatically activate health goals, ...
Label Efficient AI architecture for Screen-Task WORKflow assistance (LEASTWORK) KU Leuven
The PhD topic and goal of the Baekeland project is a use case-agnostic artificial intelligence (AI) architecture for workflow assistance and automatic logging, that shortens the time-to-market by being reusable and less reliant on expensive, expert annotations. Self-supervised learning and short-term planning in a learned world model will be studied in two or more use cases relevant to the company Barco, including robotic surgery.
