Reintegration for persons with a rare disease KU Leuven
In this project we want to develop a service to reintegrate people with a rare disease into the labor market. The project consists of two phases: an exploratory phase and a development phase. in this first exploratory phase we want to map the needs and specificities of the target group in order to be able to develop a customized service. We do this on the basis of service design and co-creation with the target group.
An integrated translational platform to improve the management and outcome of rare heritable connective tissue disease Ghent University
This interdisciplinary project aims to improve the outcome of heritable connective tissue disease. Using deep phenotyping techniques in combination with advanced genetic analysis, both in the clinic and in animal models, we expect to uncover molecular mechanisms which will inform better disease management strategies. In parallel, we aim to identify novel therapeutic targets using unbiased phenotypic screening in zebrafish models.

Valorization of PRICOV-19 Study: Translating scientific findings into policy recommendations for preparedness and response to infectious disease outbreaks in European primary care practices Ghent University
During the COVID-19 pandemic, a consortium of more than 45 European research institutions, led by UGent, embarked on the PRICOV-19 study. This study aimed to investigate how primary care practices adapted their operations to deliver safe and high-quality care under challenging circumstances, particularly to vulnerable populations. PRICOV-19 collected data from over 8,000 primary care practices across 37 European countries and Israel, without ...

Diseases from A to Z: preventive health care for small ruminants. KU Leuven
This project aims to raise awareness among small ruminant keepers of the problems associated with outbreaks of animal diseases that have negative consequences for both the animals and the farm. In addition, during the project, ways of business management will be demonstrated that, by means of an integrated approach, can prevent health problems or detect them quickly.
