Infections with gastrointestinal worms, including the roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides, occur
throughout the developing world and remain a major public health problem in the poorest
communities with lack of personal hygiene, environmental sanitation and safe drinking water.
Children are at highest risk of these worm infections, which lead to nutritional deficiencies,
anaemia and impaired physical and mental development. ...
In pigs, we showed that serology has a clear added value in the detection of soil-transmitted helminths and estimating the impact of infections in these animals. In this project, we want to evaluate whether our serological test also provide additional insights into the epidemiology of soil-transmitted helminth infections in humans and whether it can be used to monitor deworming programs.
Over the years sensors expanded their field of use from scientific exploration to consumer electronics, and their market evolved accordingly. Quantum technologies are expected to further push sensor’s performances, unlocking even more application domains, exploiting non-classical correlation of light and matter to extract the relevant information beyond the limit dictated by classical noise processes, improving performances such as ...
In LASIQ I will develop, for the first time, an on-chip titanium-sapphire mode-locked laser capable of generating low-noise optical
frequency combs in the 650-1100 nm wavelength range.
Optical frequency comb generators are light sources capable of generating a spectrum of millions of equally spaced laser lines. Such
light sources allow to down-convert optical frequencies (THz) to the microwave domain (GHz), enabling ...
Targeted alpha therapy (TAT) is a rapidly growing cancer treatment modality, whereby alpha-emitting radiopharmaceuticals selectively target tumours whilst minimising the radiation to healthy tissues. Presently only 223RaCl2 has regulatory approval, but its success resulted in unprecedented levels of interest and investment in TAT for a variety of cancers. It is showing promising efficacy and increased survival in clinical trials; however, ...
The aggressive downscaling of FET devices in past years has put a great emphasis on the need to come up with properly calibrated process and device simulation tools to predict performances, suggest processing options, and even understand failure mechanisms of scaled FET devices. In the last years, IMEC has demonstrated how to combine data extracted from Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) or Scanning Spreading Resistance Microscopy (SSRM) ...
