Bridging radical science and technology KU Leuven
The proposed project studies the process of bridging science and innovation in particular for radical ideas. The existing industry science literature has explored how firms can benefit from science for their innovative performance. It also has studied how science can be activated to contribute better to innovation. However, there is a gap in both streams of literature as they did not differentiate between types of science and types of ...
Stimulated emission depletion microscopy (STED): Nanoscopy for innovative research in the life sciences Ghent University
The well-known adagio ‘seeing is believing’ is as much of relevance to life science research today as it ever was. Since the invention of the first microscopes almost 400 years ago, there has been an ongoing strive to ever see more details within organisms, tissues and cells. Based on fundamental physics from the nineteenth century, it was long thought impossible to see beyond a resolution of ~200 nm with light microscopes. However, thanks to ...

Interdisciplinarity, causation and explanatory pluralism in the biomedical sciences Ghent University
Explanations of diseases can result from a biological, pshycological or social science approach. This project examines how these approaches relate to each other in the biomedical sciences. Should they be integrated? Are they, on the other hand, incompatible? Etc. We will address these questions by comparing the causal concepts, methdology and forms of explanation applied in these different approaches.
Medical Forces in late-Renaissance Natural Philosophy Ghent University
Some of the most innovative and influential natural philosophies of the sixteenth century are
produced by physician-philosophers. They offer a cosmos filled with medical spirits, humors, and
living faculties. Humanist medicine represented the avant-garde of natural philosophy, where the
Neoplatonic, Stoic, and Paracelsian came to mix with more conservative currents of Aristotle and
Galen. ...
