NANOSPRESSO-NL (BML + CH)
Production of high-quality, personalized nucleic acid nanomedicines using a microfluidic platform Orphan diseases affects not more than 1 person per 2000 in the European population, however there are between 5 000 and 8 000 rare diseases, accounting for 3.5% – 5.9% of the worldwide population. Orphan diseases have significant impact as they are often chronic,…

Electrical stimulation of Cardiomyocytes in a Heart-on-a-Chip Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is a serious health status affecting 33 million worldwide. The drug development for AF is cost intensive and a time-consuming process. Organ-on-Chip technology has the potential to revolutionize drug development. While conventional processes involve animal testing, this number can be reduced significantly by using human…

Menopause (BML)
An osteoblast/osteoclast co-culture model to study menopause related osteoporosis. Menopause marks the final menstrual period in a woman’s life. In the period preceding menopause, called perimenopause, a shift in hormonal balance occurs. While some women go through this period uneventfully, others experience negative consequences that affect their physical health and workability. One of the physical…

Smart Groundwater Sensing 2.0 (MT, EE)
Large scale data generation of ground water levels using smart sensors to combat drought and flooding Due to climate change and soil subsidence, drought is becoming an increasing challenge in the Netherlands. Groundwater management responsibilities are fragmented across provinces, water boards, municipalities, and landowners, complicating effective management. Accurate and predictive insights at both the parcel…

CRP@Home (BML)
At home measurement of an inflammation biomarker The ability to monitor disease processes remotely can enable self-management in order to provide the proper care to remote patients.Biomedical outcomes (laboratory or imaging), functional outcomes (physical or mental functioning) or patient-reported outcomes (PROMs: symptoms, perceptions) can be used to determine disease activity and/or the effect of interventions.Specific…

CGM (BML)
Continuous Glucose Monitoring in the Intensive Care Unit Hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) in intensive care (ICU) patients is strongly associated with increased morbidity and mortality. In addition to the fact that stress-induced hyperglycemia occurs due to being seriously ill, the frequent use of corticosteroids in the ICU can have hyperglycemia as a side effect. According…
