Pharma4S - Advanced Optimisation of Recombinant Protein Bioproduction: Multi-Scale Systems Biology Study for Pharmaceutical Proteins KU Leuven
The production of proteins by using genetically modified organisms has become a multibillion-euro industry thanks to the multitude of applications. Specifically in the pharmaceutical industry, proteins are being produced in this manner to obtain a reliable and cost-efficient production process. However, the optimisation of these complex production processes is not yet taking advantage of the state-of-theart computational techniques that are ...
PRODEX-11 project: URINIS-A phase 2: Urine Nitrification in Space Ghent University
URINIS aims to test the feasibility and efficiency of the urine nitrification bioprocess under space conditions on ground and in space. First the experiment requirements for the flight tests were defined (URINIS ground). Next, this URINIS-A proposal describes the flight hardware optimization and biological ground experiments that need to be performed prior to the scheduled URINIS-A experiment in the ISS. The purpose of URINIS-A is to ...
CalidAmmox: Thermophilic partial nitritation/anammox for sustainable nitrogen removal from wastewater Ghent University
Innovative nitrogen removal based on mesophilic anoxic ammonium oxidation (anammox) is among the most distinct and successful innovations in wastewater treatment over the last decades. This technology demonstrates that better effluent quality and sustainability can go hand in hand, and even results in reduced investment and operating costs. In the CalidAmmox proposal, the application span for partial nitritation/anammox (PN/A) will for the ...

Development of hydrogels to support chondrocyte responsiveness to mechanical loading KU Leuven
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a highly prevalent and disabling condition in which the normal joint function is impaired. It is a multi-factorial disease that primarily affects the articular cartilage and in which mechanical factors have been reported to be key-factors. Within an interdisciplinary project involving physicists, rheumatologists, movement scientists, biomedical engineers, we are laying the fundaments of a new approach towards treatment ...
Fermentomics: development of an integrative real-time metabolomics approach for the enhanced production of biochemicals: a case study for innovative biosurfactant molecules Ghent University
Surfactants are surface-active agents applied in many aspects and products in our daily lives. Biosurfactants are fully bio-based surfactants and a new type of innovative microbial biosurfactants, bola sophorosides, has recently been developed at InBio.be. However, the low productivities of the biosynthesis do not allow the process to be economically viable. This will be tackled in this project by performing bioprocess development in ...
