Biological characterisation of new molecular forms of chemotactic cytokines: role in inflammation and cancer.

The first dimension of chemokine heterogeneity is reflected by their discovery and purification as natural proteins. Each of those chemokines attracted a specific inflammatory leukocyte type. With the introduction of genomic technologies, a second wave of chemokine heterogeneity was established by the discovery of putative ...

Olink's groundbreaking proteomics panels help scientists discover human protein biomarkers. Proximity Extension Assay (PEA) technology measures up to 1463 unique proteins in 88 samples simultaneously, starting from less than 3 microliters from nearly any type of biological sample. Unique application domains are located where mass spectrometry (MS) based proteomics is suboptimal. Samples such as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), microdialysis ...

For ages, mankind has been occupied with its own fertility. Since the birth of Louise Brown, the first test tube-baby, the research into assisted reproductive technologies is fully on-stream. De first livebirths after uterus transplantations and genetic interventions have already been reported. Legal research has not followed this trend, although assisted reproductive technologies also raise legal questions. This PhD contributes to legal ...

The objective of BiFAST is twofold: 1. Realize a commercially viable, technical proof-of-concept enabling serial data transmission at 112Gbps over a real-life electrical data carrier giving the exposure needed to start a strategic partnership or attract venture capital. This technical proof-of-concept will comprise a chipset implementing duobinary signaling. 2. Further clarify market needs while identifying possible market entry strategies ...

Building on the results of the PhD of Andy Andriamamonjy and the ongoing PhD research of Mathias Bonduel, I will develop concepts to combine semantic web technology (Linked Data) with Building Energy Performance simulation (with Modelica) and modular concepts for Building Automation and Control Systems (BACS). While in the PhD of Ando Andriamamonjy we used openBIM (IFC and MVD’s), the new approach will use Linked Data (LD) and take advantage ...
