Characterization and validation of novel autophagy inducers identified via high-throughput screening: a therapeutic option for the treatment of advanced atherosclerosis. University of Antwerp
A dynamic way to burnout. Development and validation of an instrument to measure burnout from a dynamic network perspective. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Validation, refinement and spatial orientation of CD45RA effector-memory CD8 T-cells and PDL1- expressing CXCL10+ macrophages as predictive markers for response to immune checkpoint inhibition in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. KU Leuven
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (CPI) have dramatically changed the treatment landscape of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, biomarkers enabling the identification of patients likely to benefit from CPI in HCC are still an important unmet need. Understanding which effector cells are essential in facilitating response to CPI in HCC and characterising the optimal pre-treatment immune context for subsequent treatment success would ...
Multicenter validation trial of [18F]AlF-FAPI-74 for PET imaging of cancer-associated fibroblasts through fibroblast activation protein inhibitors (FAPI) in digestive tumors KU Leuven
This project will study in the diagnostic accuracy of a novel positron emission tomography (PET) tracer ([18F]AlF-FAPI74) targeting fibroblast activation protein (FAP) in a prospective, non-randomized, multicenter, multi-cohort, interventional phase II/III trial. FAP is a promising emerging molecular target, expressed on cancer-associated fibroblasts and is independent of cancer cell characteristics such as tumoral glycolytic phenotype and ...
Development and validation of a numerical model for torrefaction of coffee grounds for energy production in small households KU Leuven
Crafting Futures. Revising & transforming the evaluation, assessment & validation of craftsmanship to enhance its economic & societal impact AP Hogeschool Antwerpen
Crafing futures. Revising & transforming the evaluation, assessment & validation of craftsmanship to enhance its economic & societal impact KU Leuven
Crafting Futures examines and transforms the assessment & validation mechanisms by which crafts knowledge and know-how (CKK) is evaluated, to enhance its value added for economy and society in Flanders. Crafts are resources for competitiveness, innovation, sustainable development and quality of life, contributing to SDG4, 8 and 11. Yet the services and tools needed to foster the recognition of the value of CKK currently hamper the full ...

Development and validation of a numerical model for torrefaction of coffee grounds for energy production in small households (3E230506) KU Leuven
The increasing energy demand worldwide and the growing concerns regarding climate change pushes the energy production towards alternative fuels, such as biomass. However, the major shortcomings of biomass that limit its wider utilization as fuel are mainly a low energy density and high moisture content. As a result, biomass needs to be pretreated to improve its characteristics to be used as a fuel. The leading pretreatment technology for this ...
