Assessment and treatment of lung injury following brain death in a mouse model. KU Leuven
Translational research on chronic rejection after lung transplantation: towards better treatment in patients. KU Leuven
My BOF−ZAP project is part of the BREATHE research group and includes research into rejection after lung transplantation focusing on structural changes of the lung and the allo-immune response. This research ranges from basic experimental research in cell cultures and laboratory animals to translation to the human lung and the patient. The final objective remains to increase the quality and survival of the lung transplant patient. We aim to ...
Studying global gene expression changes during hematopoietic development to identify novel regulators of hematopoietic stem cell function KU Leuven
Self-renewal and differentiation are the two primary attributes of all kinds of stem cells. Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are multi-potent stem cells that are responsible for producing all blood cells throughout the lifetime of an organism. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an effective method for treatment of hematopoietic disorders including leukemia and other hematopoietic malignancies, as well as immunodeficiencies. The ...
