Het vaststellen van de moleculaire fundamenten van arthritische ziekten - een stap vooruit naar Artritis genezen KU Leuven
In the ArthritisHeal project 7 universities and 2 companies, together with 8 associated partners, will train 12 young researchers and will discover novel therapeutic targets for two rheumatic diseases: osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The project will focus on the role of pro-resolving lipids, which play an important role in both diseases by stimulating resolution of inflammation. Both OA and RA cause pain and deformation of ...

However, patients showing early signs of treatment resistance (TR) do not receive adequate early intensive pharmacological treatment but instead they undergo a stepwise trial-and-error treatment approach. This situation originates from three major knowledge and translation gaps: i.) we lack ...
Opleiding van een nieuwe generatie onderzoekers in innovatieve elektrochemische oxidatieprocessen voor de verwijdering en analyse van microverontreinigende stoffen in waterstromen (INNOVEOX). KU Leuven
Although the European freshwater system is monitored closely by different European frameworks, it has been demonstrated that organic chemical pollutants are still putting half of it at risk. The InnovEOX R&D training network was built to address and provide a solution for this considerable challenge: to boost innovative electrochemical wastewater treatment techniques to effectively degrade highly hazardous organic micro-pollutants, ...
