Networking and strategy, in collaboration with the client, for the Flemish universities and research institutions in the context of sustainable chemistry, bio-economy and environmental technology. University of Antwerp
Exploring transcriptome and microbiome dynamics in response to microbial challenges and nutritional immunomodulation in Hermetia illucens larvae. KU Leuven
Our food system struggles to sustainably meet the demands of the growing world population and needs to shift towards a sustainable, bio-based model. Specific insects are envisioned as actors in this transition, by efficiently transforming renewable biomass into high-quality protein and other compounds. The Black Soldier Fly (BSF) is important for bioconversion, as its larvae are able to valorize low quality organic waste streams (e.g. ...
Preclinical evaluation of withaferin A chemosensitisation in GC therapy resistant B- and T-cell haematological malignancies. University of Antwerp
Study of microbial interaction networks among heterotrophic bacteria from river waters KU Leuven
Rivers represent aquatic ecosystems among the most suffering from anthropogenic activities, by their regular and important exposure to massive inputs of organic matter and chemical pollutants. Bacteria play a key role in rivers’ ‘self-purification’ by their action of mineralization of organic matter and export of carbon to the atmosphere, and besides they form an important trophic link as they are located at the bottom of the food chain. ...
