Next-generation immune biomarkers to improve clinical immunotherapy options for pediatric and adult patients with glioblastoma: a multi-omics, translational immunology and artificial intelligence-driven approach KU Leuven
The aim of this project is to present a clinically useful research protocol at the end of the 4 years that will use scientifically validated biomarkers to identify the most appropriate (combinations of) immunotherapies in a personalized way for every brain tumor patient, pediatric and adult. to select a clinical trial. To achieve this biomarker-based selection, combinations of the most advanced molecular cell biological research methods and ...

Pre-allocated professorship in veterinary immunology Ghent University
Alphaherpesviruses have developed a finetuned balance with the immune system of the host,
allowing (lifelong) infection of the host and efficient transmission but at the same time leading to
relatively benign symptoms, such as cold sores with herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1).
Disturbance of the balance with the immune system can have severe consequences. Deficiencies in
Natural Killer (NK) cells severely ...

Respiratory Syncitial Virus immunology and molecular virology Ghent University
The ectodomain of the short hydrophobic protein (SHe) of Respiratory Syncytial virus will be used as a recombinant virus-like particle in prophylactic vaccination studies against this virus. The protective efficacy of SHe-specific adaptive immunity will be characterized in a mouse model. Using passive transfer of antisera and immune cells the mechanism of protection of this novel vaccine will be determined.
