Development of a unified sound processing strategy for combined electric and acoustic auditory stimulation KU Leuven
A hearing aid restores hearing by sound amplification, while a cochlear implant is surgically implanted and restores hearing by electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve. An increasingly common solution to severe hearing loss is a "bimodal system": a cochlear implant in one ear and a hearing aid in the other. By giving the ability to hear with two ears – so-called "binaural hearing" – this set-up could in theory allow its users to figure ...
Development and use of relevant hamster and mouse Sars-Cov-2 infection models to aid the design of therapeutic and prophylactic options for Covid-19. KU Leuven
IIn some patients, COVID-19 progresses from an initially mild viral syndrome to a severe and life-threatening multi-system disorder with cytokine storm. This coronavirus pandemic is putting healthcare systems worldwide under unprecedented and increasing pressure. Efficient vaccines as well antiviral (small molecules and biologicals) and anti-inflammatory drugs are urgently needed. Given the emergency, the repurposing of small molecules and/or ...

Addressing Traditional Law in Post Conflict Legal and Judicial Development Aid in Sub-Saharan Africa Ghent University
Research on the vision and policy of external actors regarding traditional justice systems in international legal aid for rule of law and transitional justice in post conflict sub-Sahara Africa. Traditional justice systems are analysed in terms of their potential contribution to the construction of democratic states and their role in transitional justice mechanisms, with a special focus on human rights.

Novel Algorithms for Computer-aided Method Development Based on Variable Length Chromatography (VLC) Vrije Universiteit Brussel
-Develop automatic MD algorithms that exploit the potential advantages of VCLC
-Compare its effectiveness to that of the currently employed fixed-length MD by applying both techniques to solve hundreds of different computer generated separation problems.
-Test the effectiveness of the different algorithm components by applying them to the MD of real-world pharmaceutical samples.
Exploration and preclinical validation of myeloid cell pathways as novel targets and biomarkers for fibrosis development in IBD Ghent University
1) Because existing anti-inflammatory IBD therapies do not reduce the risk of fibrosis, the
innovation delivered by FIBRO-TARGET twofold. First, we will be novel and preclinical
provide validated targets for small molecule and / or biological development
molecules as drug candidates against fibrosis complications in IBD patients. Second
FIBRO-TARGET wants to ...
Development of surgical assistive technology for intraocular microsurgery KU Leuven
Our eyesight is by far our most developed sense, playing a vital role in nearly all aspects of everyday life. As such, severe vision loss can have a devastating impact on one’s life. Advancements in medicine have led to effective treatment methods for a substantial range of eye diseases. Nevertheless, several retinal disorders remain a common cause of vision loss. At the time of writing, an estimated 244 million people worldwide suffer from a ...
