IOF GEAR: Artificial Intelligence from bench to bedside in neurology, neurosurgery and psychiatry Vrije Universiteit Brussel
the chances of success of our neurotranslational research, with the aim of developing novel diagnostic and
therapeutic strategies for neurological, neurosurgical and mental disorders and better understand mechanisms of
cognition and behavior. Cognition is the central theme that unites all our preclinical and ...

Assisting the mitigation of emerging infectious diseases using artificial intelligence Vrije Universiteit Brussel
global economies. Controlling such epidemics is challenging, and in such a
complex environment, potential mitigation strategies need to be evaluated
using geospatial epidemiological models. The limited availability of case reports
during emerging epidemics complicates the fitting of such models.
Furthermore, the uncertainty about the ...
The optical nanomotion detector: a microfluidics-based instrument to search for extra-terestrial life, human microbial infections and habitat contaminations in space Vrije Universiteit Brussel
of the most intriguing scientific questions. Since the chemical
composition of these organisms is unknown, a chemistryindependent life detector would be an appropriate device to equip
interplanetary mission lander probes in their quest for searching
extra-terrestrial life. A couple of years ago, we demonstrated that all
living organisms ...
Quantification of real-time kinetics of bitumen's microstructure University of Antwerp
Machine learning opportunities for reliability research KU Leuven
In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has made impressive progress and many applications are entering the daily lives of everyone. Expectations are that this is merely the beginning of a whole new era in which exciting new applications will arise in fields as for instance medicine, self-driving cars, drug design, robotics, arts, etc. Also in a research environment, machine learning (ML) techniques are being deployed as versatile tools ...
Scaling theory for two-dimensional quantum critical points using tensor network states Ghent University
Novel quantum critical behaviors beyond the traditional Landau-Ginzberg-Wilson paradigm can happen in strongly correlated quantum many-body systems. Although great efforts have been spent both numerically and theoretically, many of them are still remaining controversial in two dimensions (2D). To resolve these problems, we propose to develop a new scaling theory using tensor network states, specifically projected entangled pair states (PEPS) ...
Redesigning Biology: Changing the substrate requirements of DNA polymerases by directed evolution KU Leuven
All polymerases make use of nucleotide triphosphates as substrates, incorporating the nucleobase, sugar, and α-phosphate onto the growing chain, while discarding a pyrophosphate moiety (β and γ phosphates). In this context, the pyrophosphate is nature’s leaving group – activating the nucleotide monophosphate, and facilitating the reaction, but not a part of the final product. Other leaving groups are chemically possible (such as the ...
