High Precision Micro Production Technologies KU Leuven
The Hi-Micro project intends to realise an innovative approach for the design, manufacturing and quality control of tool inserts to achieve significant breakthrough in mass production of precision 3D micro-parts, through further developing both enabling manufacturing technologies, including additive manufacturing (AM), micro electrical discharge machining (micro-EDM), micro electro-chemical machining (micro-ECM) and micro-milling, and unique ...
Ontwikkeling, diagnostiek en preventie van gendergerelateerde somatische en mentale comorbiditeiten bij het prikkelbare darm syndroom in Europa KU Leuven
Mental (anxiety and depression) and non-mental (fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome) comorbidities are highly prevalent in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), with over 60 million Europeans affected, mostly women, by devastating manifestations, impaired treatment and quality of life. Estimated costs are €43 billion/year for IBS, mostly derived from comorbid IBS. Our hypothesis is that comorbid IBS represents a distinct clinical entity, ...
Coördinatie van het Europese Referentienetwerk voor zeldzame en complexe epilepsieën KU Leuven
The ERN for Rare and Complex Epilepsies EpiCARE aims to enhance and bring equitable access to high quality diagnosis, treatment and ultimate management of patients with these diseases. The term “epilepsies” refers to a very challenging disease area, as it encompasses both a variety of symptoms (epileptic seizures) of numerous chronic and acute neurological disorders and, a long list of epilepsy diseases proper, often rare, devastating and ...
conect4children( Samenwerkingsnetwerk voor Europese klinische onderzoeken voor kinderen) KU Leuven
Paediatric medicines development is embedded in the European policy, legislation and in the work of the pharmaceutical industry but currently the potential of this effort is not realised.
The conect4children (c4c) project will address the critical problems with the design, implementation and operational conduct of paediatric clinical trials, for example the fragmented and redundant efforts between sponsors, sites and countries.
This ...
EurOPDX Gedistribueerde infrastructuur voor onderzoek naar van patiënten afkomstige kanker xenograften KU Leuven
Counteracting high attrition rates in oncology drug development and providing optimal therapeutic management of cancer patients require preclinical models that properly recapitulate the complexity and diversity of human tumours. Patient-derived tumour xenografts (PDXs), established by transplanting tumour fragments into immunodeficient mice, are being widely embraced by the scientific community as preclinical tools for target and biomarker ...
Het verminderen van verliezen na de oogst om de duurzaamheid van voedsel te verhogen. KU Leuven
Main postharvest losses are caused by physiological, pathological and physical damage; being these causes in many instances interrelated. Harvested products are highly heterogeneous and conventional postharvest approaches are not sufficient for an optimum profitability of these foodstuffs. These methods are usually based on controlling the physiological and sanitary status on pre-harvest, for which only a part of the harvest is analysed as a ...
Inventieve prognose-instrumenten voor de aanpassing van het waterkwaliteitsbeheer aan een nieuw klimaat Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Gestroomlijnde geriatrische en oncologische evaluatie op basis van IC-technologie voor holistisch patiëntgericht zorgbeheer voor oudere multimorbide patiënten KU Leuven
Population is aging and the number of complex multimorbid patients to manage will increase sharply. Disease-centred approach is not appropriate to manage these patients. Change to a patient-centred approach will simplify care pathways, secure management and treatment decision making and decrease healthcare costs. It will be a real breakthrough for daily practice with multiple impacts that must be quantified. GERONTE multimorbid ...
