2D and 3D high-spatial and high-temporal resolution ultrasound imaging for characterization of tendon mechanics. KU Leuven
Achilles tendinopathy affects competitive and recreational athletes as well as inactive people. The incidence of this pathology in the general population is 1.8%and over 80% of tendon ruptures occur during recreational sports. The etiology of tendinopathies is multifactorial, but tendon overuse is assumed to be one of the main pathological stimuli.
Recently published studies have demonstrated the need for a better characterization of ...

3D strain fields for functional 4D material design: A unifying computational protocol to tune the phase stability of strain-engineered nanostructured materials Ghent University
Tuneable nanostructured materials such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and metal halide perovskites (MHPs) are highly promising contenders for various pressing technological challenges, from efficient photovoltaic devices to high-performant shock absorbers. Their highly modifiable atomic structure and polymorphism, which can lead to large-amplitude phase transitions in response to small changes in structural composition or external ...
The use of 2D and 3D imaging modalities and its influence on diagnosis and treatment planning in orthodontics KU Leuven
Cross-coupling of diversified C(sp3) fragments with (hetero)aryl halides by upgrading Pd catalysis with the organocatalytic activation of amino acids KU Leuven
The success of Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions in drug discovery has led to a large share of one- and two-dimensional drug scaffolds among pharmaceutical compounds. This leaves the three-dimensional medicinal compounds underexplored. In this project, we will tackle this issue by enabling the Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling of pharmaceutically relevant (hetero)aryl halides with amino acid-derived C(sp3) fragments. An innovative approach will ...
