Tissue Engineering in Ophthalmology: Regenerating the ocular surface using standardized, xeno-free, tissue-engineered conjunctival grafts for conjunctival reconstruction. University of Antwerp
Enzymatic treatment for age-related macular degeneration and excessive burn scars Ghent University
Next to the cataract treatment, which is currently being validated in the IOF Advanced project F2017/IOF–dvanced /089, we identified two novel clinical applications with a high market potential for the enzymatic treatment. One application (also in opthalmology) is age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a common cause of irreversible loss of sight for which at the current time no treatment is available. The second clinical application is ...
Principled Machine Learning for longitudinal biomedical data with repeated measures KU Leuven
Advanced computational methods using machine learning could become an indispensable tool for medical practitioners in a multitude of clinical settings like prognostic modeling and patient risk stratification. However, most Machine Learning techniques were not designed to account for the complexities stemming from the longitudinal and otherwise hierarchical nature of most health datasets. Not only do correlations between repeated measurements ...

'Vision Core Leuven': a service platform for compound screening and disease modelling KU Leuven
A consortium of KU Leuven researchers working in the ophthalmology/neurobiology field, has recently launched the ‘Vision Core Leuven’ (VCL), a multidisciplinary service platform that combines complementary, novel state-of-the-art technologies and the consortium’s well-known expertise in ocular disease and visual impairment modeling. The platform will enable industrial and academic partners to evaluate the impact of a certain intervention ...
