PhD position on the ethical aspects of precision medicine KU Leuven
This project focuses on the emerging ethical challenges in precision medicine (PM) across the basic science-translational-clinical cycle. The evolution in the direction of precision medicine implies ethical issues that differ from those in traditional clinical practice and research such as the attempt to control the impact of the ‘data tsunami’, the increase of ‘variants of unknown significance’, the rise of stratified medicine, the tension ...
Novel sampler for ambient ionization high-resolution mass spectrometry (AIMS)-based metabolomics and its application in pediatrics precision medicine. Ghent University
There is an unmet need for samplers permitting rapid sample processing for a.o. precision medicine metabolomic fingerprinting. AIMS-based metabolomics allows to record mass spectra from samples in their native environment without the need for chromatographic separation. Existing samplers are not customized for this approach or matrix is burned along with the sample leading to interferences and contamination. In this StartTT we aim to deliver ...

Towards PREcision MEdicine for Osteoarthritis: added value of cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (the PREMEO trial) KU Leuven
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is the leading and fastest increasing cause of disability in older adults. It is a serious health issue related with a high health care utilisation. The first-line KOA management is nonsurgical care, with education and exercise therapy as key elements. Nevertheless, treatment effects of exercise therapy and behavioral pain management on improvements in pain, function and quality of life are small to moderate at ...
Do the EU and relevant national legal frameworks provide for a fair allocation of data control and responsibility in the context of precision medicine? A case study of clinical trials KU Leuven
Clinical research relies on patient participation and the use and (re-)use of sensitive personal data. Moreover, several types of research are heavily dependent on exchange of data between countries (e.g., precision medicine trials), and all health research would benefit from greater, meaningful cross-border collaborations, as shown during the COVID-19 crisis. However, the current legal system for the conduct of cross-border research in the ...
