Augmenting healthcare by supporting general practitioners and disclosing health information to patients KU Leuven
This PhD explores, designs, develops and evaluates a suite of information visualization tools for understanding, exploring, explaining and disclosing health information. This toolset is aimed at both general practitioners and patients and is driven by three underlying research goals: augmenting traditional practitioners’ workflows, boosting patient empowerment, and investigating novel opportunities in devices for supporting communication and ...
Lifting barriers towards obtaining actionable public health information from pathogen genomes: model advancement, performance evaluation and application to respiratory syncytial virus types A and B KU Leuven
Molecular epidemiology approaches can glean epidemiological information from pathogen genomes, and have grown into an important instrument across infectious disease research. Harnessing these methods for actionable information to public health -an important goal in e.g. HIV research- requires the ability to obtain timely and unbiased information on key epidemic processes such as migration. The adoption of model-based phylogenetic inference of ...

Deciphering the information flow from the gut lumen to the nervous system in health and unbalanced diet conditions KU Leuven
The gastrointestinal tract is a crucial passageway via which a variety of nutrients like sugars, fats, proteins, but also noxious substances pass the body every day. Therefore, the epithelium and mucosal cell layers lining the gut need to constantly monitor the contents in its lumen. In addition to simply absorbing nutrients, a variety of different cells and mechanisms in the epithelium are important for deciphering the different types of ...
