Backup mandate from Research Council: TITAN: imaging and manipulation of Tumor-Infiltrating T-cells using Anti-CD3 Nanobodies Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Harnessing the immune system, in particular T-cells, holds the
promise of eradicating breast cancer cells with exquisite precision. Moreover, the immunological memory formed by T-cells ensures long-lasting response. Several T-cell centered immunotherapies are under construction for the treatment of breast cancer, a.o. immune checkpoint blockade and immunization strategies. ...
Backup mandate Research Council: The impact of emergent dynamics in realistic decentralized multi- agent systems with a heterogeneous population of artificial agents Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Backup mandate Research Council: Extending Fairness to Reinforcement Learning Policies Vrije Universiteit Brussel
solved through the use of supervised learning algorithms, some tasks require a different approach. Reinforcement Learning (RL) allows an algorithm to learn by trial-and-error rather ...
A quantitative analysis of the variation and socio-spatial inequality in (intra-)urban human mobility using big data KU Leuven
Our view on the city has changed from looking at the city as a mechanical structure that can be rationally planned and artificially changed to seeing the city as a dynamic urban system that continuously responds to both internal and external changes. Some of these changes arise ‘naturally’, while others are brought on by deliberate planning, design, or policy interventions aimed at changing aspects of our human behavior within these urban ...
Mentoring practice: A new theoretical and cross-disciplinary approach KU Leuven
The last 15 years have witnessed dramatic growth in mentoring in many fields. Uncritical acceptance of the benefits of mentoring has led professional schools globally to expend increasing amounts of time and resources to mentoring programmes. Although there is evidence of positive outcomes, the steep rise of mentoring programmes has not been met with similar progress in mentoring research, in part because of its uncritical stance, absence of ...
A Deaf Heart Promotes Proliferation: Using iPSC-Based 3D Models to Study Mitogenic Cardiomyopathy in Alström Syndrome. KU Leuven
Sound Streams: bioinspired artificial intelligence for learning in continuous auditory streams Ghent University
Inspired by neuroscience and biology, the project SoundStreams proposes to combine the most promising elements from models for auditory perception and learning to face the challenge of creating artificial intelligence from being exposed to a continuous sound stream. In contrast to most artificial intelligence systems, the proposed model will use internal representations that accurately account for the passage of time; it will learn only what ...
Exploring innovative model systems of virus replication to unravel virus tropism and pathogenesis KU Leuven
Exploring innovative model systems of virus replication to unravel virus tropism and pathogenesis. KU Leuven
Viral infections are responsible for great morbidity and mortality around the world, particularly due to lower respiratory and diarrheal diseases. In addition, emerging and re-emerging viruses pose a serious threat, which is well illustrated by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Understanding the fine details of how a virus infects its host, replicates and causes disease is a fundamental step towards the conceptualization and development of ...
