Development of polyamine membranes KU Leuven
Large scale energy storage is becoming increasingly important and redox flow batteries have gained a lot of attention in this regard. Ion exchange membranes are a crucial component of redox flow batteries in terms of performance and cost-efficiency. Polyethers and polyamines are promising candidates for the development of these ion exchange membranes due to their excellent stability. This project aims to test the applicability of these ...
An investigation of the influence of fluorination on molecular properties Ghent University
This project aims to further our knowledge about how molecular properties can be modified and finetuned by fluorination. The focus is on molecular conformation, and its resulting effects on lipophilicity, bioactivity, hydrogen bonding and crystal structure. Using small aliphatic molecules of pharmaceutical interest, and a number of important biomolecules such as carbohydrates, steroids, and certain amino acids, judicious fluorine introduction ...

Dual-modality hafnium oxide nanocrystals for imaging and identification of sentinel lymph nodes in breast cancer Ghent University
Breast cancer is the most predominant type of cancer worldwide. Surgical removal of the tumour and possibly affected lymph nodes is the primary form of care in early-stage breast cancer. The at-risk lymph nodes, the so called Sentinel Lymph Nodes (SLNs), are identified by injection of radioactive nanoparticles, sometimes combined with injection of a blue dye. The procedure exposes both patient and surgeons to ionizing radiation and features ...
