Op weg naar snellere optische mapping van DNA met superresolutie met behulp van plasmon-versterkte fluorescentie KU Leuven
Human microbiome science is advancing, showing promise of having important impacts on human health with new insights into disease etiology and general human biology. Accordingly, DNA sequencing platforms have been developed rapidly, expanding the scope in microbiome research. Among others, optical mapping technique, capable of imaging single DNA molecules provides access to genetic information on single molecules up to ~1 Mbp in length. It ...

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 ...
Focus op het bevorderen van ruimtelijke en temporele resolutie van 3D-gestructureerde verlichtingsmicroscopie KU Leuven
Super-resolved structured illumination microscopy (SR-SIM) is an important method to surpass the resolution limit in fluorescence microscopy. SR-SIM is compatible with many fluorescent labels and ensures low photo-damage, making it an ideal candidate for live-cell imaging. However, to be truly applicable, very fast 3D imaging has to be realized, as the cellular structuring is 3D in nature and fast dynamics have to be captured. In addition, ...
Nano-engineering van omkeerbare grafeen-superroosters met meerdere componenten: onderzoek naar de fundamenten van het moleculaire niveau tot de schaal van het apparaat. KU Leuven
The nanoarchitecture of 2D materials is of great interest in the scientific community and is recently exploited widely to tailor its electrical, chemical, optical, and mechanical properties. Chemical and photochemical reactions are the two promising methods to anchor the functional groups on 2D materials, in which the former reaction induces large-scale modification while the latter introduces spatially localized defects (sub-micron ...

FLUOROCODE: een superresolutie optische kaart van DNA. KU Leuven
"There has been an immense investment of time, effort and resources in the development of the technologies that enable DNA sequencing in the past 10 years. Despite the significant advances made, all of the current genomic sequencing technologies suffer from two important shortcomings. Firstly, sample preparation is time-consuming and expensive, and requiring a full day for sample preparation for next-generation sequencing experiments. ...
