Partnership for european research in radiation protection and detection of ionising radiation : towards a safer use and improved protection of the environment and human health. KU Leuven
The ambition of the PIANOFORTE Partnership is to improve radiological protection of members of the public, patients, workers and environment in all exposure scenarios and provide solutions and recommendations for optimised protection in accordance with the Basic Safety Standards. Research projects focusing on identified research and innovation priorities will be selected through a serie of three competitive open calls. The input to define the ...
Unraveling the potential of circular RNAs as novel biomarkers of radiation exposure and- sensitivity and their functional characterization in the radiation response University of Antwerp
Radiation dosimetry methodologies for in vitro and in vivo studying the effects of spatio-temporally modulated irradiations in the context of advanced radiation therapy Ghent University
In-vivo exploration using a skinfold chamber system, of the cell response to spatio-temporal modulated dose distributions, starting from interesting in-vitro observations of increased metabolic activity at intermediate doses. The realization and dosimetric quality assurance of the system is the subject of a PhD project and is an essential link in the global project (FWO application) in which the research team assesses the cellular effects of ...

Smart camera-based lighting luminaires with a tunable radiation pattern and spectrum KU Leuven
Current lighting control systems adapt the emitted light intensity levels of multiple luminaires, by using a network that incorporates light- and motion sensors. A more recent evolution is the dynamic control of the color temperature to influence how people feel and perform. However, further innovation on the level of the lighting luminaires and the accompanying sensor technology is needed, to realize the long-standing promise of providing ...
Radiation effects on human brain development, modeled in human brain organoids Ghent University
Evolution at the plant apex: identifying steps enabling a major organismal radiation Flanders Institute for Biotechnology
Understanding the RNA regulatory interactome landscape of radiation response in glioblastoma KU Leuven
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most malignant and frequently occurring type of primary astrocytoma. It accounts for more than 60% of all brain tumors in adults. Despite the availability of traditional treatment options such as surgery, postoperative radiation, and chemotherapy, the median survival of GBM patients remains less than two years. Due to its high aggressiveness, heterogeneity, and easy tolerance to treatment, there is currently no ...
