Facilitating the communication between clinicians and patients faced with medical hurdles for having children. KU Leuven
The communication between clinicians and patients is the crux of patient-centred care. Parenthood is an important life goal for the vast majority of people. Losing the prospect of parenthood can be as painful as the confrontation with a severe disease. My research is aimed at facilitating the communication between clinicians and patients faced with medical hurdles for having children. I have so far focused on subfertile couples turning to ...

Unmet medical needs in systemic inflammatory syndromes and vasculitis. Focus on giant cell arteritis and polymyalgia rheumatica’ KU Leuven
Systemic inflammatory diseases consist of vasculitis, connective tissue diseases, granulomatous diseases and auto-inflammatory diseases. Although each of these conditions individually is rather rare, it concerns a large group of patients in total. Precisely because of the rarity of these disorders, the patients are regularly confronted with unmet medical needs in terms of diagnosis and treatment. This project will focus on the diagnosis, ...
Interdisciplinary Network in Fundamental and Medical Research on Lung and Pancreatic Cancer [NITROGEN] Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This proposal aims, therefore, to identify and (pre-)clinically validate a set of molecular targets as drivers of cancer phenotypes that could be used for mono- or ...
High Definition Biofabrication: The doorway to the future of medicine. From organ-on-chip towards advanced medical devices. Ghent University
The present project covers acquisition of high definition bioprinting technology (multiphoton lithography). This technology enables a better mimic of the natural microcellular environment, and is especially essential for the generation of organ-on-chip technology. In this respect, the present project aims to develop the first truly functional cornea-on-chip for drug screening applications as a stepping stone towards other promising ...
GELGRAFT MEDICAL - The solution towards minimally invasive breast reconstruction Ghent University
Given the clinical need along with great valorization potential, the current stepstone project aims to prepare for an innovative spin-off company that will target the breast reconstruction market. Gelinject, constructed from a gelatin-based biomimetic material, will act as a support promoting cell survival as an addition to lipofilling procedures. Due to an increase in cell survival compared to the standard lipofilling technique, the number ...
