Geomorphological, quaternary geology and geological study of the northeastern Alentejo (Portalegre, Portugal), in geo-archaeological perspective. Ghent University
Importance of trophic ecology for marine biodiversity: a model study on the species level with diatoms and copepods harpacticoid Ghent University
Combatting chronic diseases and inflammation by eating food that's right for you KU Leuven
The purpose of the study will be to work on a collaborative research project with our colleagues in England in serology and immunology research in IBD patients with Covid-19. Next to that we will start a large prospective randomised controlled trial about the role of diet on the microbiome IBD patients. This will be a large study with possible links with metabolomics and the genome.
Novel insights in prevention and diagnosis of non-bacterial infections during critical illness KU Leuven
Patients who survive an acute life-threatening event do not always rapidly recover but are at risk for prolonged organ failure and dependency on organ support. During this phase of ‘persistent critical illness’, patients are prone to acquire opportunistic infections, among which viral reactivation and invasive fungal infections (IFIs). These infections are associated with higher mortality, longer ICU-dependency and higher costs. In this ...
Development and clinical validation of a multiplexed massspectrometry- based assay to improve diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis KU Leuven
Anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) and rheumatoid factor (RF)
are essential serological biomarkers for diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis
(RA). However, the limitation of these markers for RA diagnosis is that
they are absent in about one third of RA patients, a percentage which is
even higher in early RA. It is now widely accepted that identification of
RA in its earliest stages significantly improves a ...

The H boson gateway to physics beyond the Standard Model Ghent University
In 2012, a scalar particle has been discovered at the LHC (CERN). As of today, its properties
match those of the Higgs boson of the Standard Model (SM), the current theory of
fundamental interactions. This discovery has crowned 50 years of research, including seminal
work done in Belgium by Brout and Englert. It has also opened a new era for particle
physicists, with more-than-ever pressing mysteries to face, including ...
