TBrainBoost : ERA TALENTS FOR BOOSTING AND BALANCING BRAIN CIRCULATION Vrije Universiteit Brussel
and society in the field of healthy aging. TBrainBoost will achieve this through a series of secondments between academic institutions
and businesses working in the field of healthy aging, and a number of educational activities
Drug DELIvery to the brain via CHOroid Plexus targeting. Flanders Institute for Biotechnology
Training the next-generation of European GLIOblastoma (translational) researchers, to RESOLVE precision targeting of the brain tumour microenvironment. Flanders Institute for Biotechnology
Radiation risk appraisal for detrimental effects from medical exposure during management of patients with lymphoma or brain tumour Ghent University
Een versterkte risicobeoordeling van medische blootstelling is nodig vanwege een uitgebreid gebruik van ioniserende straling voor diagnose en behandeling. Het belangrijkste doel van het 4-jarige SINFONIA-project is het ontwikkelen van nieuwe methodologieën en instrumenten die dat zullen doen een alomvattende risicobeoordeling geven voor de schadelijke effecten van blootstelling aan straling op patiënten, werknemers, verzorgers en dekbedden, ...
Selective Deep Brain Stimulation: Time and space for a change? KU Leuven
The project seeks to leverage innovative neuromodulation technology to improve the management of movement disorders by: 1) valorising a new selective DBS stimulation strategy that builds on existing, but underexploited, neuromodulation hardware; and 2) creating a new education platform targeted at potential DBS patients and their caregivers. A clear and swift route to market is ensured because the hardware to deliver the new selective DBS ...

High-dimensional electrical stimulation for visual prosthesis KU Leuven
Future advanced neuroprostheses will need to transfer orders of magnitude more information to the brain than currently possible. This is most urgently needed in visual prostheses. Improving the electrode count will be part of the solution: a next generation of visual prosthesis will most probably be based on the insertion of over 1000 microelectrodes in the visual cortex. Still, current visual prostheses use very simple stimulation patterns, ...
Gamma-MRI: the future of molecular imaging KU Leuven
Gamma-MRI will develop a clinical molecular imaging device based on the physical principle of anisotropic gamma emission from hyperpolarised metastable xenon. In the strategic move from “one size fits all” to personalised medicine, molecular imaging plays an essential role. However, despite significant technological advances in the last decades, medical imaging (especially for the brain) relies heavily on very expensive, complex and bulky ...
