Heterogeneity in multiple sclerosis. Insights from imaging, immunology and genetics KU Leuven
Background: Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease in which disease heterogeneity is poorly understood. Improving our understanding of pathways that determine inter-patient variation generates new insights that can advance the therapeutic landscape with tailored treatment options.
Objective: By focusing on imaging, immunology and genetics, we aim to unravel how patients differ from one another and how mechanistically different ...

Merging immunology with synthetic biology to improve animal health: strain engineering for the production of structurally defined carbohydrates with immunomodulating properties Ghent University
The continued spread of anti-microbial resistant bacterial pathogens together with a lag in the development of suitable antibiotic alternatives set the alarm bells ringing in public and animal health. In this project proposal, ImmunoKeys, synthetic biology and animal immunology experts join forces to engineer microbial cell factories capable of producing structurally well-defined (partially acetylated) chitooligosaccharides with optimal ...

The role of the IRE-Â1/XBP-Â1 axis in NK cell mediated anti-Âtumor immunology Ghent University
This project aims to identify the role of the unfolded protein response in NK cell homeostasis and functioning. More specifically, we will address the function of the IRE-Â1/XBP-Â1 axis in NK cell mediated anti-Âtumor responses in vivo. This research question is highly novel and will lead to a better understanding of NK cellbiology, which is highly relevant for cancer immunotherapy.
