Bilateral Alliance for Translational Science in ADHD (BATSA) Ghent University

Herbert Roeyers
Department of Experimental clinical and health psychology, University of Southampton

Research collaboration between the University of Southampton and Ghent University in the field of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). BATSU is organized around three inter-related research programs (i) genetic and environmental determinants of ADHD (ii) electrophysiological studies of brain attentional mechanisms in ADHD and (iii) reward and delay processing in ADHD: Experimental and imaging approaches.

The dynamic of Tunisian women’s transnational mobility since the 2011 Revolution: A Multidimensional Decolonial analysis. Ghent University

Sami Zemni
Department of Conflict and Development Studies
My multi-sited ethnography investigates Tunisian women’s mobility since the 2011 Tunisian revolution. The post-revolutionary context has created new conditions that have significantly increased female mobility. While individual choices play a role, both meso and macro levels influence the female trajectory process. Employing a multidimensional, decolonial and feminist perspective, this study dissects the dynamic of transnational mobility within ...

The human dog: a translational neurobiological brain model on the molecular effects of the noninvasive brain stimulation technique accelerated high frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (HF rTMS) Ghent University

Chris Baeken
Department of Head and Skin, Department of Psychiatry and Medical Psychology

This proposal aims to investigate the neurobiological underpinnings of NIBS treatment modalities for psychiatric diseases. Despite its acceptance as therapy for major depression, the neurobiological basis and effective stimulation parameters are barely known. The main objective is to gain better insight into the immediate and delayed neurobiological effects and safety of 2 HF-rTMS paradigms with the dog as model.

Translational research into novel therapies for pelvic floor disorders KU Leuven

Jan Deprest
Woman and Child, Urogenital, Abdominal and Plastic Surgery

Pelvic floor disorders, including pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and genitourinary syndrome of the menopause (GSM) decrease the quality of life of many women. The mainstay of therapy for POP is a surgical correction, either using native tissues or substitutes, usually referred to as mesh. Surgery may however cause complications, in particular when using mesh. The recommended treatment of GSM is hormonal replacement, yet many patients ...

Molecular and functional imaging as a pivotal tool for translational medicine in the field of neuroscience and oncology: a platform creating a bridge between basic research, clinical development and industrial application. KU Leuven

Koen Van Laere
Radiopharmaceutical Research, Nuclear Medicine & Molecular Imaging
In contrast to commercial production centres of PET tracers where a large number of doses of a limited number of (non-specific) tracers is produced, state of the art PET research centres rather provide a large number of different specific tracers to be injected in a limited number of subjects. An experienced team and a state-of-the-art infrastructure ensures fast implementation of (a) experimental preclinical/clinical PET radiopharmaceuticals ...

Translational and Transdisciplinary research in Modeling Infectious Diseases (TransMID). University of Antwerp

Niel Hens
Centre for Health Economics Research and Modelling of Infectious Diseases (CHERMID), Hasselt University, Vaccine & Infectious Disease Institute (VAXINFECTIO)
TransMID focuses on the development of novel methods to estimate key epidemiological parameters from both serological and social contact data, with the aim to significantly expand the range of public health questions that can be adequately addressed using such data. Using new statistical and mathematical theory and newly collected as well as readily available serological and social contact data (mainly from Europe), fundamental mathematical and ...

The metastic niche: preparation, function and translational evidence of a permissieve micro environment for cancer dissemination Ghent University

Establishment of cancer metastases is “successful” only if premetastatic niches are prepared in certain organs. Exosomes derived from cancer cells, are presumed to contribute to this process. In this project the biogenesis of exosomes is studied, and transgenic animals will be applied. Last but not least, exosome markers will be traced in organs (lymph nodes, bone marrow, lung) from cancer patients, as predictive markers.
