High-throughput droplet-based microfluidics for screening of infectious diseases KU Leuven
The aim of this thesis is the development of a mass-testing environment with the capability to perform rapid ddPCR tests. At first, it is desired to obtain an advanced sample collector system for saliva for fast, mass-parallelized analytical processing. Afterward, a droplet-based massively parallelized manipulation and UHTdS screening systems must be developed. Lastly, it is planned to obtain custom-made ddPCR reagents compatible with our ...

The Van Wiechen Test in Flanders, a modified version of the Denver Developmental Screening Test: now and in the future KU Leuven
Both at Kind en Gezin (K&G) in Flanders and at the consultation office (JGZ 0-4) in the Netherlands, the Van Wiechenonderzoek (VWO) has been used for many years to longitudinally monitor the development of children between birth and the age of 4 years and 6 months. Longitudinal monitoring is particularly important in the first years of life for timely preventive intervention, if needed. The VWO is a modified version of the Denver ...
Implementation of population screening for breast, cervical end colorectal cancer - year 2023 Ghent University
A population-based screening is a systematic offer of screening to a population group with predetermined common characteristics. For example, it may involve women and/or men belonging to a certain age group. Population screening involves screening for a disease (e.g. breast cancer) or a precursor of a disease (e.g. colon polyps) or for a health risk (e.g. an unhealthy lifestyle), without any health complaints related to the disease, precursor ...
