To evaluate whether we can determine the health status of the joint by measuring biomarker levels using a newly developed assay by the University of Twente based on the multiplex measurement of a panel of relevant biomarkers using Surface Plasmon…
1. To study the possibility to detect gynaecological malignancies and endometriosis in vaginal self-swabs, Pap smears and blood of women with gynaecological cancer or endometriosis, using MeD-seq and MeD-scan assays, in order to develop…
The aim of this project is to evaluate the clinical value of biomarkers in adult patients with pulmonary hypertension, in particular:1) To quantify biomarkers of neurohormonal activity as NTproBNP, endotheline-1 and of immunological activity as CRP…
To study the kinetics of the vaccine-induced antibody response against HPV16/18 after a two-dose schedule by measuring these antibody responses at approximately 7, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108 and 120 months following the first dose of HPV-…
The primary objective of this study is to establish molecular profiles in lower rectal biopsies as close to the internal fistula orifice tissue and fistula scrapings based on single cell RNA sequencing, cellular protein expression by CyTOF and…

To investigate whether high perceived stress is associated with inflammatory reprogramming of innate immune cells and their bone marrow progenitors, and with increased arterial wall inflammation, in subjects with an increased CVD risk.
Sample collection for in vitro research
Previous studies have shown that the origin of trained innate immunity lies in the bone marrow and is determined by epigenetic and metabolic reprogramming in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. In this study, we investigate whether long-term…
The objective of the study is to establish a data infrastructure to investigate the degree in which current and previous generations of young-old are characterised by healthy and successful ageing.
Objective 1: To improve the understanding of the dynamic phenotypic spectrum and the disease mechanisms of HD by:a. collecting natural history data covering the cognitive, behavioral and motor domains permitting estimates of rates of progression in…
