Can high-resolution optical projection tomography of the interplay between cryptococci and macrophages unravel the enigmas in pulmonary and cerebral cryptococosis pathogenesis? KU Leuven
Scientific state-of-the-art & aims of this proposal:
Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii are encapsulated yeasts that can cause life-threatening disease in both immune-competent and immune-suppressed individuals (e.g. cancer therapy patients or patients with AIDS). Cryptococcosis affects the lung and may spread to the brain, manifesting itself by meningitis or pseudocystic brain lesions. It ...

A multidisciplinary approach for a better diagnosis and understanding of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. KU Leuven
Cofinancing core facility - Centre for X-ray Tomography – UGCT Ghent University
The UGCT is an interfaculty consortium that combines UGent activities around high-resolution X-ray CT. The consortium owns several state-of-the-art devices, the majority of which are self-built. For more than 15 years, the facility has bundled all infrastructure present at UGent for high-resolution X-ray CT for non-in-vivo purposes, and is used together with the expertise and knowledge to provide services, both on an academic and industrial ...
