Scaling Up secure Processing, Anonymization and generation of Health Data for EU cross border collaborative research and Innovation KU Leuven
The overall goal of the SECURED project is to scale up multiparty computation, data anonymization and synthetic data generation, by increasing efficiency and improving security, with a focus on private and unbiased artificial intelligence and data analytics, health-related data and data hubs, and cross-border cooperation. The project will address the limitations that are currently preventing the widespread use of secure multiparty computation ...
For better health in university and college students: pin-pointing the interplay between social support, study stress, substance use and mental health across different study programs. University of Antwerp
Health-promotion through obesity prevention across Europe: an integrated analysis to support European health policy Ghent University
The present proposal focuses on overweight and obesity as one of the main determinants of loss of healthy life years and of health disparities in Europe. In particular, it focuses on expanding understanding of the key lifestyle factors nutrition and physical activity, which are the major proximal determinants of overweight and obesity. It aims at identifying (I) socio-economic and environmental determinants of these behaviours and (II) ...
Statistical adjustment for patient-specific factors in measuring the quality of care across different health care institutions. Ghent University
Valorization of whole plant silage of cereals, mixed or not with leguminous crops, on the dairy farm with specific focus on rumen health Ghent University
The project aims to broaden the too narrow crop rotation in dairy/maize regions by introducing shredded cereals whether or not in mixed cultivation with leguminous plants. This with a view to maintaining or improving organic soil carbon, less use of crop protection products and fertilizers and more biodiversity. Via incorporation of these shredded cereals in dairy rations, the project also aims to achieve a better balance between high milk ...
Improving soil, potato crops, human health and forage quality in a climate change context - EMPOCHA Ghent University
Gastric interoception: Towards an improved understanding of interoceptive processes within and across organ domains in healthy individuals and patients with functional dyspepsia. KU Leuven
Tabea Eimer will work in a multidisciplinary research project, funded by the Research Foundation - Flanders (FWO), that examines whether interoception is a general ability that shares neural processing characteristics across multiple organ domains and that predicts affective responses. Moreover, the project will test whether altered interoceptive processing of bodily signals from different organs can explain the heterogeneity of somatic ...
Mapping the stem cell landscape of mouse and human pituitary across key time points of life in both healthy and disrupted conditions KU Leuven
The pituitary positions at the regulatory summit of our endocrine system, accomplishing vital regulation of body development and physiology. The gland contains a population of stem cells whose molecular and functional passport remains blurred. In particular, their cellular complexity and evolution across key time points of life, as well as role(s) are unresolved. Moreover, the stem cells’ behavior in disrupted pituitary is largely uncharted. ...
