Understanding mechanotransduction in mesenchymal stem cells by proteomics. Knowledge transfer to implant osseointegration. KU Leuven
Neural coding of natural speech in the brain stem of cochlear implant users KU Leuven
Hearing loss is a common health issue that, if left untreated, may have far-reaching consequences on education, social functioning and mental well-being. In order to select the appropriate rehabilitation strategy (hearing aids, middle ear surgery, etc.), the hearing loss needs to be carefully evaluated. Various hearing evaluation techniques are available for use in clinic. Most of them are behavioural tests that depend on feedback from the ...

Modulation of multifunctional biocompatible surfaces to optimise orgal implant osseointegration. KU Leuven
Two-photon real-time imaging and chronic electrical recording in alert animals (TRICERA): correlation of optical measurements and neuronal signals from chronically implanted silicon probes KU Leuven
Implantable silicon-based neural probes for high-density neural recordings are important tools for the investigation of neurophysiological systems. However, progress in the application of probes to chronic implants has been hampered by two important challenges: (1) the progressive degradation of the probe/tissue interaction, which results in decreasing recording quality over time, (2) an adequate assessment tools for studying chronic ...
A sustainable financing model for the telemonitoring of patients with cardiac implanted electronic devices. Ghent University
Telemonitoring of patients with Cardiac Implanted Electronic Devices (CIEDs) refers to the process of using telecommunication and information technology to monitor the health status of a patient from a distance. It has emerged as a tool to evaluate several parameters of the cardiovascular physiology and risk of the patient. Moreover, it enables clinicians to promptly initiate the appropriate treatment and care, and prevent a full ...
State-of-the-art beamline for high-current implanter of the Ionic and Molecular Beam Laboratory (IMBL). KU Leuven
The purchase of a beam line for a particle accelerator, which will allow materials to be irradiated with energetic particles (ions). With this irradiation, new materials can be created, or the structural, mechanical, electrical, magnetic, optical ... properties of existing materials can be modified.
