LIMNI-KU Leuven Institute for Micro-and Nanoscale Integration KU Leuven
KU Leuven hosts a wide variety of researchers that work at the micro- and nanoscale. A plurality of aspects of nanotechnology is investigated by research groups in mechanical, electrical and materials engineering, bioengineering, physics, biology, chemistry, and medical sciences. Many of these groups are well-known or even world-leading in their respective fields. However, sharing and integrating the knowledge of these experts is often ...

reference master samples; algorithms and protocols for spectra acquisition and computational quantitative analysis; and
correlations between Raman data and process or product descriptors.
Cationic polymers with controlled charge separation for non-viral RNA delivery Ghent University
Nowadays, researchers can make synthetic self-amplifying messenger RNAs (sa-mRNAs) that encode for any desired protein. However, these synthetic RNAs require efficient carriers that protect and deliver them inside the cytoplasm of cells. In this project, we aim to develop cationic polymer transfection agents for in vitro and in vivo transfection of synthetic self-amplifying mRNAs.
Stimuli-responsive nanocarriers for tissue regeneration. Hasselt University
A complementary in vivo-in silico approach to optimize nanomaterial delivery in solid tumors KU Leuven
Bottom-up reconstruction of cytoskeleton-stabilized artificial cells. KU Leuven
At its most basic levels, life consists of the encoding of information, the catalysis of reactions, the compartmentalization of its parts and the ability to self-reproduce. Many research efforts are being devoted to develop artificial cells capable of these basic functions. Despite some key achievements in all these areas, much remains yet to be accomplished. Therefore, even the partial reproduction of some of these basic features will have a ...
METAmaterial Science, Technology and Application Revolution (META-STAR) KU Leuven
Colloidal 2D Materials for Room Temperature Excitonics Ghent University
2D semiconducting materials are highly suitable for hosting stable quasi-particles called excitons. These excitons show remarkable light-matter interactions which will be investigated in this research project by means of inorganic chemistry and femtochemistry (optical spectroscopy and microscopy).
