ISOGLASS—Archaeometric investigation of ancient glass – identification of the sources of Cu, Sb and Ti via isotopic analysis using (laser ablation) multi-collector ICP – mass spectrometry Ghent University
All elements with 2 or more isotopes show natural variation in their isotopic composition as a rseult of isotope fractionation during physical processes and/or (bio)chemical reactions. Determination of the isotopic composition of an element in ancient glass and comparison to those in raw materials possibly used in its manufacturing can provide information on the provenance of the effectively used raw material. Cu can be present in glass as a ...
Material and digital traceability for the certification of critical raw materials Ghent University
MaDiTraCe’s main goal is to enlarge and integrate the portfolio of technological solutions reinforcing the reliability of critical raw material (CRM) tracking and the transparency of complex supply chains. The project aims to develop and test independent digital and geo-based approaches for CRM traceability and to integrate them with a generic certification scheme for CRMs throughout mineral supply chains from the mine to the manufactured and ...
Molecular Brain Tumor Detector KU Leuven
The critical role of accurate cancer diagnosis and personalized treatment is critical, especially in brain tumor patients. Current treatments such as oncological surgery show success, but approximately 52% to 62% of patients experience a relapse within 5 years. Improving surgical decisions during surgery can significantly improve patient outcomes. The project focuses specifically on an advanced analytical technique, namely mass spectrometry. ...

The natural K, Fe, and Cu isotopic response to Pt-based chemotherapeutic drug resistance in ovarian cancer Ghent University
Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally and in the EU, and was responsible for an estimated one in six deaths in 2018. Early diagnosis plays an important role in determining cancer treatment outcomes, but the diagnosis of ovarian cancer poses significant challenges; the routine screening of asymptomatic average-risk women is not recommended by any professional society. Chemotherapy using Pt-based compounds (e.g. carboplatin, ...
