(Epi)Genetic studies and system biology approaches to characterize rare inherited bleeding and platelet disorders: from patient studies to basic biology to cl inical applications KU Leuven
In this OT project, (epi)genetic large-scale studies in combination with functional in vitro studies will be used to characterize patients with “rare inherited Bleeding and Platelet Disorders (BPDs)”. (Epi)Genetic studies and system biology approaches to characterize rare inherited bleeding and platelet disorders: from patient studies to basic biology to clinical applications.
System biology, chemical genomics and endomembrane trafficking Ghent University
It will be extremely beneficial for the PSB department to establish also close links between the technological platforms of PSB such as chemical genomics, functional genomics and functional proteomics with the platforms in Prof. Raikhel's institute including subcellular proteomics and high content imaging platform.
Combining our knowledge will create added value to the University of Ghent and will lead to high impact ...

A bio-philosophical study of Darwinian selection versus Lamarckian instruction in contemporary evolutionary systems biology Ghent University
We will investigate the theoretical and empirical conditions for evolution by Darwinian natural selection versus Lamarckian instruction. The latter, 'pre-Darwinian' hypothesis on biological evolution is currently taken back into consideration in contemporary evolutionary systems biology. We will analyse its conceptual and empirical relationship to natural selection as well as the crucial heuristic role the Weismann barrier plays in this.
Identification of the molecular networks involved in leaf growth through a systems biology approach Ghent University
Plant growth and the influence of the environment on this growth are important aspects of plant physiology. Despite the fundamental importance of plant growth little is known on the molecular networks that govern size and growth rate of organs such as leaves. This project aims to unravel the regulatory pathways that drive leaf growth in a systems biology approach.
