**Functiebeschrijving**: Asthma and COPD are widespread chronic respiratory diseases that impose a heavy social and economic burden. Traditional treatments often follow a "one-size-fits-all" approach, merely suppressing symptoms without achieving true health improvements. The MSCA Doctoral Network RESPIRE-EXCEL is set to revolutionize this by introducing...

**Functiebeschrijving**: **Wat vragen wij**: - A master's degree (or are close to graduating) in bioinformatics, statistical genetics, computational biology, molecular biology or a related field. - A good amount of experience and understanding of programming languages (Python and R are a big plus) and data analysis. - Experience working on a...

Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) plays a pivotal role in blood coagulation, with its secretion from Weibel-Palade bodies (WPBs) being essential for responding to vascular trauma. Dysfunctional WPB biogenesis and exocytosis are characteristic of bleeding disorders such as Von Willebrand disease. In this project, we aim to identify the organelle trafficking routes...

Topic of research: Friction-switchable surfaces Computer chips are the building blocks of all modern technology. The smallest structures on the most advanced chips are currently 5 nanometers. ASML’s EUV (extreme ultraviolet) scan technology enables the scale of the smallest feature to be reduced even further. Hence, wafer positioning becomes a crucial...

The PhD Project Removing a brain tumor can trigger language problems. To avoid this, patients are kept awake during surgery and asked to name pictures of objects (e.g., bike). For >10 years, our group has shown that this is an outdated procedure because, for example, naming actions (e.g., swimming) better predicts communication abilities and detects...
