Zika paraatheid Latijns-Amerikaans netwerk. KU Leuven
The ZikaPLAN initiative combines the strengths of 25 partners in Latin America, North America, Africa, Asia, and various centres in Europe to address the urgent research gaps in Zika, identifying short-and long term solutions and building a sustainable Latin-American EID Preparedness and Response capacity.
We will conduct clinical studies to further refine the full spectrum and risk factors of congenital Zika syndrome (including ...
Impact van exposome op het beloop van longziekten KU Leuven
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cystic fibrosis (CF) are two very debilitating non-communicable diseases that are of particular interest to consider in parallel in a human exposome study. Their roots are opposite: COPD is currently considered to be mainly related to the external exposome, while factors outside of the exposome play a major role in CF. However, COPD and CF share common characteristics such as high phenotypic ...
Gastheer omschakelende pathogenen, besmettelijke uitbraken en zoönose; een Marie Sklodowska-Curie trainingsnetwerk KU Leuven
The ongoing increase of the human population accompanied by growing numbers of livestock to feed this population, as well as human invasion into natural habitats of wild animals makes humans progressively vulnerable to animal pathogens. Global trade as well as climate changes can contribute to pathogen transmission, e.g. through import of infected vectors or expansion of habitats for arthropod vectors such as mosquitoes and midges. Examples ...

Chronische ontsteking en cardiovasculair risico KU Leuven
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death and illness globally. Preventive therapies can avoid or delay the occurrence of cardiovascular events, provided that one can identify individuals at risk and intervene before problems manifest. Recent scientific developments have established that inflammation has a prominent role in the development of cardiovascular diseases; but routine screening of inflammatory markers to assess ...
Ondernemen van dynamische zelfgeorganiseerde interfaces in fotokatalyse: een multidisciplinair trainingsnetwerk dat licht omzet in producten. KU Leuven
The global need to move current human technologies into a sustainable future will have a great impact for the world of chemistry and related industries. In close concert with other disciplines, chemistry will be increasingly solicited to identify solutions that are practical, affordable and ultimately sustainable. To meet these objectives, not only research, but also chemical education will need profound reforms that have to be contextualized ...
