DEVELOPMENT AND OPTIMALISATION OF AN ALPHA-SYNUCLEIN-BASED CELLULAR AND MOUSE MODEL FOR PARKINSON’S DISEASE KU Leuven
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the most common neurodegenerative movement disorder that affects 6 to 10 million people worldwide. The neuropathological hallmarks are a progressive degeneration of dopaminergic (DA) neurons of the substantia nigra (SN) pars compacta and eosinophilic cytoplasmic inclusions called Lewy bodies (LBs) and Lewy neurites. α-synuclein (αSYN) is a known key player, but the exact role of αSYN aggregation in the pathogenesis ...
Optimalisation of pharmacotherapy and patient safety by development of advanced clinical decision support systems in hospital and first line setting KU Leuven
In 1999, the US Institute of Medicine released a report titled “To Err is Human: building a Safer Health System”, which addressed the potential impact of medical errors on health care and patient morbidity and mortality. According to this report, in 1993 alone, about 7000 deaths in the US could be directly attributed to medication errors. As a result of these unsettling findings, during the last two decades, much effort has been put into ...

Reduction of off-flavor in RAS through microbial management and optimalisation of the depuration procedure. Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
This project examines solutions to resolve the fundamental problem of off-flavor in fish cultured in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), at one hand by reducing the off-flavor molecules geosmine and 2-MIB (2 -methylisoborneol) and the prevention of microbial community growth in RAS that produces these off-flavor molecules, and otherwise by optimizing the procedure of off-swimming.

Optimalisation of the greenhouse cultivation of basil, mint and chives by varying the light conditions KU Leuven
Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) is an important aromatic herb cultivated worldwide. As a vegetative crop it offers a short cultivation cycle creating high commercial value. For Belgium, basil is mostly grown in greenhouses. Although plants are cultivated in a highly controlled, technological cultivation system, several challenges remain. The aim of this research project was to optimize light use in the commercial cultivation of basil, ...
