SPEED-XM: SPectral Evaluation and Enhanced Deconvolution by eXtensive (Statistical) Modelling. Hasselt University

Dirk VALKENBORG
Centre for Statistics
A number of key-operations in pharmaceutical development, rely on a correct and timely evaluation of spectral data: e.g, liquid chromatography- mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and solid state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (ssNMR) are used for compound characterization and MS in a gas-phase setting is used to monitor the headspace of a chemical reactor during the production process of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Nowadays, high amounts ...

The Quest for Global Talent: (Top) Management Teams, Nationality Diversity, and Firm Performance Hasselt University

Innovation Management, Economics and Public Policy
In an increasingly competitive global environment, firms face the challenge to attract talented and highly skilled employees. Hence, firms often look abroad to hire talent. This also applies to the most important employees of the firm: the executives in its Top Management Team (TMT). In this project, we investigate if and when internationalization of the TMT affects corporate outcomes. In particular, we focus on TMTs ability to influence ...

Study of the pain-producing and pain-potentiating effects of prolonged exposure to Endothelin-1 (ET-1). University of Antwerp

Kristof Deseure
Antwerp Surgical Training, Anatomy and Research Centre (ASTARC)
Endothelin-1 is being increasingly recognized as an important molecule in the development and progression of cancer, but also in the occurrence of cancer pain. So far, all studies have used acute administration of ET-1, bearing little resemblance with the prolonged exposure observed in clinical conditions. It is therefore proposed to investigate the effects of chronic exposure to ET-1 on signs of spontaneous and evoked pain behaviour.

Evaluating cardiovascular and blood pressure profiles throughout pregnancy and in response to medication in patients at high risk for or diagnosed with GHD: opportunities for improving patient-tailored therapy. Hasselt University

Wilfried GYSELAERS
Cardio & organ systems
Adaptation of the maternal cardiovascular (CV) system to pregnancy occurs in the first weeks of gestation to supply fetal and placental oxygen and nutrients in a high-volume, low-resistance circulation. CV maladaptation underlies the etiology of gestational hypertensive disorders (GHD). Our research group already observed trimestral GHD-subtype specific CV differences. However, current management of GHD does not take these underlying ...

Rare disease patient organisations, biobanks, and biomedical innovation KU Leuven

Ine Van Hoyweghen
Centre for Sociological Research

Since the 1990s, a growing number of rare disease patient organisations have set up their own biobanks and registries to serve as resources for laboratory and clinical researchers. As a number of studies have shown, patient organisations’ control of access to these resources enables them to play an active role in promoting, coordinating and directing research into their particular disease, with the professed aim of ensuring that such research ...

Methodology for determining challenging road sections in term of road safety for powered two-wheelers on rural roads Hasselt University

Construction engineering
Despite advances in road safety, the problem of injuries and traffic crashes is still very prominent, especially for vulnerable roads users, among whom Powered Two-Wheelers (PTW) are included. Injuries and deaths are not only problematic for the family or friends but are also a societal concern. The proposed doctoral research deals with the factors and circumstances that contribute to the occurrence of the traffic crashes that involve PTWs. ...

New developments in liquid chromatography for the analysis of complex samples. KU Leuven

Deirdre Cabooter
Pharmaceutical Analysis

The research described in this proposal aims at improving the analysis of complex samples in diverse fields of applications (pharmaceutical, (bio)medical, environmental…) by investigating and improving the three parameters that determine the resolution of a chromatographic separation: efficiency, selectivity and retention. New methodologies are developed to improve the accuracy with which the different contributions to mass transfer can be ...

The organisation of task representations Ghent University

Senne Braem
Department of Experimental psychology

Humans have the extraordinary ability to flexibly learn, and switch between, different tasks, based on prior experience or simple instructions. However, in doing so, they need to make overarching decisions about whether they want to rely on shared representations (at the risk of more task set interference) or separate, parallel representations (at the cost of more intensive learning). This project will explore how people can efficiently use ...
