Capturing microbial diversity by single-cell phenotyping to identify governing principles of subcellular organization and unicellular proliferation KU Leuven
Modern metagenomics has opened our eyes to the immense microbial diversity that exists both among and within us. Despite this diversity, all microbes share a similar challenge, and that is to survive and proliferate in order to subsist in their respective environments. To achieve this, these unicellular organisms must integrate a large variety of processes in tiny compartments. Microbes need to take up and metabolize nutrients to generate ...

Individual variability in functional human brain organization Ghent University
No two humans are alike. Since our personality, behaviour and cognitive skills are governed by the brain, one would be equally hard-pressed to find two human brains that are completely identical. Yet virtually every functional neuroimaging study aggregates brain scans across all participants in their sample. While this approach yields an easily interpretable map of brain regions commonly activated by the mental process(es) of interest, it ...

A Comparative Analysis of the Organization and Regulation of Referendums and their Campaign Financing KU Leuven
This research will consist of a comparative analysis of the regulations concering referendums in several EU Member States, mainly focusing on campaign financing. Special attention will be granted to the Scottish Referendum on Independence (2015), the Brexit Referendum (2016) and the Catalan Referendum (2017).
Investigation of the covid-19 crisis and innovative organization in residential care centers. KU Leuven
Research into the question whether the work organization configuration can explain the difference in infections with covid-19 in residential care centers.

Dissecting tissue spatial organization using machine learning and spatial transcriptomics Ghent University
In this project, we aim to better functionally characterize different spatial contexts within tissues. To this end we will develop novel bioinformatics pipelines to process and integrate several “omics” and imaging data types. Novel machine learning methods will be explored that aim to combine the high spatial resolution of imaging techniques with the deep phenotyping capabilities of current scRNAseq methods.
Shared interest or mutual competition? The organization of voluntary jurisdiction in the Southern Low Countries during the late Middle Ages (1273-1433). Ghent University
The narrow research focus on late medieval public notaries has led to a distorted view on the organization and recording of voluntary jurisdiction in the Southern Low Countries. Starting from a comparative bottom-up approach, this project will assess how notaries co-existed and interacted with other legal actors, and will finally result in a more fine-grained understanding of this contemporary complex juridical reality.
