Real-time qPCR platform enhancing research activities within the Laboratory of Experimental Oncology and the Laboratory of Experimental Radiotherapy KU Leuven
qPCR for gene expression analyses Ghent University
QPCR is one of the basic techniques to investigate gene expression. With this application, we aim at replacing the current machine which is already in shared use for 8 years by the research groups of professors Tina Kyndt, and Godelieve Gheysen (FBE). The current machine is used on a daily basis, by all researchers in both teams, but is currently suffering from technical issues. The qPCR machine that we are applying for here would consist of ...
qPCR system for NGS library quality control, gene expression measurement, hybridization curve, and melting curve analysis Ghent University
In the UGent NXTGNT NGS sequencing laboratory, the Roche LightCycler 480 II qPCR system has served dozens of UGent researchers across several faculties, contributing to hundreds of publications. Also, dozens of external universities, institutions, and commercial partners have benefitted from the system. Most of these researchers indirectly used the system by performing NGS library preparation in the NXTGNT lab. The qPCR system performs ...
A comprehensive evaluation of qPCR and antibody-ELISA to assess the interruption of transmission of soil-transmitted helminth infections Ghent University
Large-scale deworming programs against soil-transmitted helminths (STH) are moving from morbidity control towards interruption of STH transmission. However, there are currently few diagnostic tools that may reliably inform the program when to stop the administration of drugs. We will evaluate qPCR and anti-body ELISAs as diagnostic tools to assess the interruption of STH transmission.

GPCR dimerization in AD: From brain expression to therapeutic potential. University of Antwerp
Modulating GPCR signaling through development of β-arrestin peptidomimetics Vrije Universiteit Brussel
central role in modern medicine. Their signaling represents a complex process involving both G
protein- and arrestin-dependent pathways. However, the molecular bases and functional
consequences of this signaling pleiotropy mostly remain to be elucidated and this requires innovative
pharmacological tools that would selectively ...
