The genes of genre: Classifying literary text types using statistical modelling KU Leuven
This project automatically extracts literary text types in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) and the Dead Sea Scrolls using quantitative linguistic methods. Its main objective is to critically assess scholarly understandings of genre by explicitly modelling the linguistic dimensions of genre, one of its constitutive elements that resists exhaustive manual quantification. To date, genre typologies are scholarly constructs depending on ...

Inherited predisposition for breast cancer in the next generation sequencing era: evaluation of the role of genes involved in homologous recombination and G2/M checkpoint control and decelopment of a functional assay. Ghent University
In less than 20% of the familial breast cancers a germline mutation in the major breast cancer genes BRCA involved in hte same pathway by a next generation sequencing approach. Furthermore, we will develop a functional assay to elucidate the role of variants of unknown significance.
Bible, Emperor, Jew. The interplay of biblical exegesis and anti-Judaism in imperial propaganda under Macedonian rule KU Leuven
This project will investigate the ideological outreach and function of Byzantine literature and the interplay between biblical exegesis and anti-Jewish politics in a crucial period of Byzantine history.
