Assessment of Thermal Effect of Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Field in Biological Tissues KU Leuven
Through 5,000 years of practice, physicians, surgeons, or people in general have utilized thermal therapy or “thermotherapies” to treat mass lesions now known as cancer. The methods have changed drastically over this time span and certainly, the techniques have improved the efficacy and safety. The hyperthermic therapy is usually a local or regional treatment for most cancer patients. There are multiple forms or methods of hyperthermic ...
Quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance imaging for characterization of biological parameters with applications in cancer treatment using ionizing radiation. Ghent University
The aim of this study is to visualize two physiological quantities in a non-invasive way using nuclear magnetic resonance imaging: (1) cel biological changes that are the result of ionizing radiation and (2) the oxygen distribution in tumours. This kind of biological imaging can be applied in the study of radiation therapy using hadrons and in optimizing cancer treatment (hypoxia).

Chemical Imaging of Biological Systems by Mass Spectrometry Imaging-enhanced Coherent Raman Scattering Microscopy KU Leuven
The functioning of biological systems is made possible through intricate interactions between cells that make up the tissues and the interplay between diverse classes of molecules that make up the cells. Dysregulation of this ecosystem typically leads to disease. Recent advances in spatial omics approaches have enabled a detailed mapping of the molecular composition of tissues with retention of spatial information. One of the emerging ...
BioCatcher: Upgrading waste nitrogen in a biological scrubber to produce ammonium nitrate. University of Antwerp
Algorithms for Bayesian network modeling of high dimensional biological data KU Leuven
clinical and biological information pose challenges in reliable
biomedical decision making. Considering all data pertaining to specific
cases becomes increasingly difficult when clinical data is enhanced by
high-dimensional information such as microarray data, proteomics data
and in the near future even full genome sequences of patients. Bayesian

Development and Validation of Biological Monitoring Tools for Anaerobic (Membrane) Bioreactors KU Leuven
Anaerobic treatment is a well-established, environmentally friendly and economically viable process for the degradation of organic waste. The main practical concern when using anaerobic technologies is process instability leading to treatment failure. Research on improved reactor start-up and especially on recovery of failing reactors (e.g., as a result of changed influent characteristics) is, hence, fundamental to further boost anaerobic ...
