Towards robust dissimilar joining and overall process monitoring in resistance welding KU Leuven
Leveraged by political, economic, and ecologic incentives, manufacturing industry shifts towards multi-material structures, combining material properties, optimising costs, enabling lightweight design, and reducing emissions during the production and the lifetime of the product. In automotive production, lightweight hybrid design reduces fuel consumption, hence the emission of greenhouse gasses. Amongst other measures, this is achieved by ...
Technical Assistance to the second nationwide Tuberculosis Drug Resistance Survey in Bangladesh from 2018 to 2019 Institute of Tropical Medicine
Characterization of antimicrobial resistance among Gram-‐negative bacteria in Peru: a comprehensive national surveillance Institute of Tropical Medicine
Globally, Gram--‐negative bacteria (GNB) carry a high morbidity burden, causing the majority of hospital acquired infections and an important number of community acquired infections such as urinary tract infections and enteric infections. In the last decades, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) among these pathogens has widely spread, including resistance to third and fourth generation cephalosporins, aminoglycosides and even ...
In vivo and in vitro study on the development of resistance clones to targeted therapies in colorectal cancer in molecular subgroups. KU Leuven
The aim of this project is to achieve an efficient development of clones who are resistant to targeted therapies for the treatment of colorectal cancer in molecular subgroups, a studyiIn vivo and in vitro.
Unraveling carboplatin resistance mechanisms in triple negative breast cancer KU Leuven
Platinum-based chemotherapeutics induce pathological responses in many solid tumors. In breast cancer, their use is common in late metastatic patients. However, there is a growing interest to use carboplatin in (neo)adjuvant therapy regimens for triple negative breast cancer, a subtype characterized by its poor prognosis and limited treatment options. Patients develop resistance to platinum drugs over time, a process that is incompletely ...
Role of Lipopeptides Produced by Bacillus and Pseudomonas spp. in Direct Antagonism and Induced Resistance Against Rice Pathogens Ghent University
This project will focus on the role of cyclic lipopeptides produced by Pseudomonas and Bacillus strains in direct biocontrol activity (antifungal, antibacterial) and indirect biocontrol activity (via induced systemic resistance). Rice will be used as model plant
Epidemiology of antimicrobial resistance in meat heads on animal and population level. Ghent University
The overall objective of this research is out there to gain more insight into the epidemiology of the introduction, selection and spread of antimicrobial resistance (specifically fluoroquinolone and beta-lactam resistance) when the indicator germ (Escherichia coli) in broilers. Based on these insights will be developed that will allow to better understand the resistance problems and to reduce. To achieve this will be initially developed ...
Durable resistance against potato late blight Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
Several European research institutes focus on the control of potato late blight (Phytophthora infestans). In this project ILVO is active within a Flemish research consortium that collaborates with the DuRPh project of the University of Wageningen to develop genetically modified, late blight resistant potatoes. The objective of this project is threefold: 1) Test the effectiveness of ...
