A new photoelectrochemical singlet oxygen-based detection platform for a panel of cancer biomarkers in tissue and liquid biopsies (SOCAN) Ghent University
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020. SOCAN will contribute to the (early) diagnosis and follow up of cancer via a new detection paradigm, i.e. singlet oxygen-based photoelectrochemical detection of cancer biomarkers. Those biomarkers are increasingly discovered and validated, but the detection necessitates rapid, accurate and sensitive devices. To achieve this, the combined use of ...
Identification of microbial and cellular biomarkers for Short Bowel Syndrome in a combined in vitro-in vivo study Ghent University
Following extensive resection, the remaining small intestine may be of insufficient length to absorb nutrients, leading to short bowel syndrome (SBS). SBS is associated with significant malnutrition, and patients must take lifelong supplements. Funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the SBS-microbe project aims to shed light on SBS pathogenesis, focusing on microbiota, metabolic and cellular changes occurring after resection. ...

Micro/nanotechnology and medical diagnostics: Development of a multiplexed nano-bio-sensing system for in-parallel monitoring of multiple health biomarkers Ghent University
Multiplexed biosensing technologies can bring an important impact to the medical practice reflecting more accurately the health status and favouring a quicker, more accurate, and early detection of a disease by maximizing the amount of information that can be obtained.
The project aims to develop a new biosensing technology based on micro/nano-systems for performing reliably and efficiently monitoring of multiple key biological ...
