Originality in the spotlight of NARILIS Research Day 2018!

The 2018 edition of the NARILIS Research Day was held on March 23 and gathered more than 100 NARILIS researchers at the Citadelle of Namur. During this unique day, the originality of NARILIS research projects was put in the spotlight!

NARILIS researchers report nanoparticles in spray paintings to be non-toxic

The application of nanotechnology to common everyday products is rising at an exponential rate. Nanomaterials are indeed increasingly incorporated into many commercial products, such as cosmetics, foods, textiles, electronics, paints.... The addition of nanoparticles to these products is intended to provide enhanced mechanical, physicochemical or antimicrobial properties. For example, paintings made up of nanoparticles confer surfaces "self-cleaning" abilities.

The NARILIS Infectiology Research Pole joins the fight against antibiotic-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii

The bacterium Acinetobacter baumannii represents a deadly threat to human health. This bacterium preferentially infects immunocompromised individuals and is therefore often associated with hospital-acquired infections, in particular in patients admitted to intensive care units and requiring invasive medical devices such as ventilators and blood catheters.

Three new projects driven by NARILIS researchers and supported by the EU's research and innovation programme H2020

Several NARILIS researchers have been successful in obtaining H2020 funding to support their upcoming research projects.

QUALIblood S.A., the new UNamur spin-off company fighting thrombosis, founded by NARILIS members

Thrombosis kills three people a minute in Europe. In Belgium, this represents 25.000 deaths per year. Helping pharmaceutical companies and laboratories to better treat and diagnose this cardiovascular disease, such is the ambition of the new UNamur spin-off called "QUALIblood S.A."

Congratulations to Dr. Jean-François Daisne, winner of the Pfizer Oncology Award 2017

Dr. Jean-François Daisne is head of the department of Oncological Radiotherapy of the CHU UCL Namur - site Sainte-Elisabeth. As a NARILIS member, he is actively involved since several years in radiobiology research projets developed in close collaboration with the UNamur (Prof. Stéphane Lucas - Radiation physics & nanotechnology, and Prof. Carine Michiels - Cellular biology).
