Projects
Machine building and Mechatronics center West Flanders Ghent University
The Mechanical Engineering and Machatronics Centre was born out of a collaboration between KUL, UGent, Sirris and Howest.
The centre focuses on three components:
1. Innovation centre 4.0 where new technologies for mechatronics and the manufacturing sector are researched, developed and demonstrated.
2. Technology lab around Virtual & Augmented Reality, one of the basic technologies supporting various aspects of Industry ...
Early stage CARdio Vascular Disease Detection with Integrated Silicon Photonics Ghent University
Early identification of individuals at risk for CVD allows early intervention to halt or reverse the pathological process. This is the driver of Medtronic and partners to develop a mobile, low-cost, non-invasive, point-of-care screening device for CVD.Assessment of arterial stiffness by measurement of the aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV) is included in the latest ESC/ESH guidelines for CVD risk prediction. Besides aPWV, early identification ...
Rewiring the Streptomyces cell factory for cost-effective production of biomolecules KU Leuven
STREPSYNTH aims to set-up a Streptomyces-based new industrial production platform (SNIP) for high value added biomolecules. Streptomyces lividans was chosen as a bacterial host cell because it has been already shown to be highly efficient for the extracellular production of a number of heterologous molecules that vary chemically, has a robust tradition of industrial fermentation and is fully accessible to genetic intervention. To develop SNIP ...
Novel nanotechnology-enabled system for endovascular in vivo near-infrared fluorescence molecular imaging and endovascular near-infrared targeted photodynamic therapy of atherosclerotic heart disease. KU Leuven
CosmoPHOS-nano is a multidisciplinary, translational and business-oriented project, aiming to accomplish the following objectives:
- develop the CosmoPHOS system, which is a novel theranostic (diagnostic & therapeutic) nanotechnology-enabled portable combination system enabling endovascular in vivo near-infrared fluorescence molecular imaging, endovascular near-infrared targeted photodynamic therapy, real-time & follow-up ...

Non-equilibrium features of small systems within critical liquids Ghent University
Het project NEQLIQ wil een bijdrage leveren aan ERA door fundamentele kennis te ontwikkelen in verband met eigenschappen van kleine systemen, in het bijzonder over de dynamica van kleine systemen in een kritische omgeving. Kritische interacties spelen een belangrijke rol in levende systemen en kunnen toegepast worden in artificiele componenten. De onderdelen an NEQLIQ zijn I) micelle-solvent mengsels om de intrinsieke kritische eigenschappen ...
Horizon 2020: Highly EFFICIENT and reliable electric drivetrains based on modular, intelligent and highly integrated wide band gap power electronics modules Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Within HiEFFICIENT the project partners will work towards these goals and will develop the next generation of wide bandgap
semiconductors (WBG) in the area of smart mobility. To boost this development and the market introduction in
automotive applications, HiEFFICIENT partners have set ambitious goals to ...
