respiratory pathogens with pandemic potential, based on historical
data of SARS-CoV-2. Clustered social contact patterns have been
pivotal in combination with stochasticity to explain disease spread
and heterogeneous behaviour. Therefore, we focus on mathematical
models that accommodate heterogeneity in infection acquisition and

Critical revision of the management guidelines for non-melanoma skin cancer from a public health & economic perspective. Ghent University
Skin cancer is by far the most frequent cancer worldwide and we modeled that the number of skin cancer patients will triple over the next 20 years. Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is responsible for about 90% of all skin cancers and originate from keratinocytes, called basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)). The remaining 10% of skin cancers are melanomas, arising from malignant degeneration of melanocytes and are ...
The state's obligation to protect economic and social rights against violations by transnational corporations: health litigation in a context of resource extraction. Ghent University
Transnational corporations (TNCs) are in principle not directly bound by human rights norms, but states are obliged to protect the rights of their citizens against violations by TNCs. However, as developing countries want to maintain an attractive investment climate, they do not appropriately regulate the activities of TNCs. The project analyzes whether the obligation to protect can be enforced through litigation.
Aha BOOST. Arm-hand BOOST therapy to enhance recovery after stroke: clinical, health economic and process evaluation KU Leuven
The arm-hand BOOST (Aha BOOST) project will deliver robust evidence of clinical and cost - effectiveness of additional arm-hand therapy for selected patients attending inpatient stroke rehabilitation. The utilisation goals of these results are threefold:
1. Driving the implementation of Aha BOOST as part of stroke healthcare.
2. Producing a realisation blueprint for effectively achieving integration of Aha BOOST in rehabilitation ...
