And so on infinitely. An analysis of infinite regress arguments in philosophy Ghent University
This research project on infinite regress arguments aims as setting up a methodological framework in which: (i) infinite regresses are analysed in terms of the notion of explanation (ii) the viciousness of infinite regresses can be determined in a non-arbitrary way and (iii) general strategies are set out for stopping infinite regresses which are vicious.

The mechanism of alphaherpesvirus US3-mediated activation of p21-activated kinases (PAKs) and its consequences on nuclear egress and viral spread. Ghent University
PAKs play a crucial role in pseudorabies virus US3 kinase-induced cytoskeletal rearrangements and also seem to be involved in nuclear egress. In this research project, the mechanism and biological consequences of US3-PAK activation will be unravelled. The interaction between US3 and PAKs and their role in viral spread and in the nucleus will be studied in detail.
