Understanding the implementation of care pathways. Process evaluation of the implementation of an evidence-based care pathway for colorectal cancer surgery in a multicenter setting
Introduction
During the past decades, perioperative care for patients undergoing surgery for colorectal cancer has shifted towards more standardized care, the so-called ‘enhanced recovery after surgery’ (ERAS). Those standardized programs aim to ...
The serine synthesis pathway: an unexplored metabolic pathway in endothelial cells, regulating angiogenesis? KU Leuven
The control of metabolism is a fundamental requirement for all life, with perturbations of metabolic homeostasis underlying numerous pathologies. Even though cellular metabolism has been studied for over a century, endothelial cell (EC) metabolism has been receiving growing attention only during the last few years.
The endothelium, a monolayer of endothelial cells lining the blood vessel lumen, is in direct contact with the ...

Identification of flow-inducible BMP signalling pathways and characterization of their role during embryonic vascular remodelling KU Leuven
The circulatory system is the first organ system to become functional during embryonic development and is required for survival of the embryo. As such, the vasculature must grow with the embryo, be efficient, and perfuse all tissues and organs. In the mouse embryonic yolk sac, the initial vasculature consists of a randomly organized, honeycomb-like network of capillaries. As the heart begins to beat and red blood cells enter circulation, this ...
Optimization of Synthetic Pathways Using Metabolons for Enhanced Production of Biochemicals Ghent University
One of the main goals of the relatively new field of synthetic biology is to develop new, artificial biochemical routes starting from standardized parts or building blocks, such as
promoters, genes, etc. that allow the modulation of de novo designed biochemical routes. These new routes (or pathways) can lead to the production of biochemicals that are used in pharma and food applications, and that are cumbersome to make via classical ...
Parallel processing of multisensory information in conscious and unconscious visual pathways. KU Leuven
We perceive the world through multiple senses that need to be integrated by the brain to produce appropriate behavior. This multisensory integration is usually ascribed to very integrative cortical areas, but recent studies suggest this could happen earlier in sensory circuits. My project aims at exploring multisensory integration at very early stages of two parallel visual pathways: the unconscious pathway, through the superior colliculus, ...
