Identificatie van de moleculaire mechanismen van non-respons op behandelingen, terugvallen en remissie bij auto-immuunziekten, inflammatoire en allergische aandoeningen KU Leuven
3TR is a transdisciplinary consortium made of experts in all areas of medicine, basic sciences and bioinformatics from academic institutions, SMEs, and 8 major pharmaceutical companies, teamed to study a fundamental issue in medicine: the mechanisms of response and non-response to therapies, the major aim of 3TR, both within single disease entities and across diseases, where molecular stratification may identify shared disease taxonomies. The ...
Een innovatief analytisch platform om het effect van toxiciteit van micro- en nanoplastics in combinatie met omgevingscontaminanten op het risico van allergische aandoeningen te onderzoeken KU Leuven
There is an urgent need to understand the risks on human health of micro- and nano-plastic particles (MNPs) that contaminate food and environment. We aim to create a cross-disciplinary platform to design suitable analytical approaches for determining the extent of the problem in the environment and to our health by evaluating the influence of ingested and inhaled exposure of MNPs contaminated with metals, allergens, pathogenic bacteria and ...
Door blootstelling geïnduceerde immuuneffecten in kaart brengen: het exposoom en het immunoom verbinden KU Leuven
Immune-mediated, non-communicable diseases, such as autoimmune diseases, allergic diseases and asthma, are chronic disorders in which the interaction between exposome and immune system plays a pivotal role. As prevalence and societal costs of these diseases are rising in the EU, a holistic approach is needed.
The EXIMIOUS consortium—gathering high-level experts in immunology, toxicology, clinical medicine, environmental hygiene, ...
