Constructing Adolescent Minds in Experimental Fiction for Young Readers: A Genetic Approach to Aidan Chambers' Dance series. University of Antwerp
Transcriptome profile of the human placenta: in search of maternal and fetal genetic factors associated with preterm birth. Ghent University
Preterm birth is defined as childbirth before 37 completed weeks of pregnancy. It is the
leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality, leading to high costs in care and long-term disability. It accounts for 5-12 % of all live births worldwide. Multiple factors, both endogenous and exogenous to the mother seem to play a role. Genetic factors appear to be involved, as apparent from disparities between racial groups and on familial ...

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.
