Nieuwe diagnostische en therapeutische benadering van inflammatoire darmaandoeningen op basis van functionele karakterisering van patiënten: de CrUCCial-index KU Leuven
The clinical phenotype and the outcome of Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), the opposite ends of chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), are heterogeneous and represent the result of a complex interplay of the gut microbiome with the immune system in genetically predisposed individuals. Disease management is much less heterogeneous as all patients are treated using non-specific anti-inflammatory agents, and only 30-50% ...

Multi-component nanodeeltjes als bimodale contrastmiddelen voor MRI en optische detectie van tumoren en voor gerichte fotodynamische therapie KU Leuven
The main aim of this proposal is to synthesize a range of lanthanide containing nanoparticles with an upconverting core, that can be excited in the infrared region to yield emission in the visible range, as for MRI and optical imaging. The nanoparticles will be covered with a rare earth doped MRI active shell and decorated with targeting moieties, which offers a means of targeting cancer cells that greatly over express the receptors. Further ...

Slimme, bewuste, geïntegreerde besturing van windparken in interactie met Digital Twins (ICONIC) KU Leuven
ICONIC aims to develop innovative physical and digital tools to achieve fundamental breakthroughs for the integrated control of wind farms, considering the whole physical system at farm, turbine, and component levels, in particular the complex aerodynamic interactions among turbines. ICONIC aims to increase farm-wide power production by 15-20% under optimal wind speeds and directions for typical wind farms suffering from wake effects, with a ...
Menselijke factoren en sociale, maatschappelijke en organisatorische aspecten om problemen op te lossen in de strijd tegen misdaad en terrorisme: HEROES Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Onze oplossing is gericht op het tot stand brengen van een gecoördineerde bijdrage met LEA's door een passende, slachtoffergerichte aanpak te ontwikkelen die in staat zijn om in specifieke behoeften te voorzien en bescherming te bieden. Het hoofddoel van het HEROES-project is om technologie te ...
Europees opleidingsnetwerk over Gray-Box-modellen voor veilige en betrouwbare intelligente mobiliteitssystemen KU Leuven
The GREYDIENT innovative training network aims at training a next generation of Early Stage Researchers (ESR) to fully sustain the ongoing transition of European personal mobility towards safe and reliable intelligent mobility systems via the recently introduced framework of grey-box modelling approaches. One of the main challenges that we currently face in this context is the integration of the data captured from the plenitude of sensors ...
Multifunctionele optimale composietconstructies ontwikkelen voor constructie- en transporttoepassingen met de nadruk op ecologische duurzaamheid KU Leuven
Due to unmitigated global warming, the EU has suffered unprecedented heatwaves in 2022 resulting in over 12,000 deaths and Europe's worst drought in 500 years. This is attributed to the heavily fuel-dependent construction and transportation sectors - collectively responsible for around 60% of EU's greenhouse gas emissions in 2020. The chief reason lies in these industries' over-reliance on legacy/outdated component architectures, with limited ...
