Mr Jean-François Picron PhD
Scientific Collaborator
Dr. Jean-François Picron obtained his Master Degree in Chemistry from the Free University of Brussels (ULB) where he continued with a PhD Degree in Organic Synthesis of supramolecular receptors and the studies of their physicochemical properties using NMR spectroscopy. He then joined the « Consumer Safety» Unit of the Belgian Scientific Institute of Public Health (WIV-ISP, Sciensano’s predecessor) where he works in the frame of natural toxins, particularly pyrrolizidine alkaloids, by developing new UPLC-MS/MS methods for their quantification in a wide range of food matrices, with an additional focus on dietary exposure assessments to support Belgian and European regulatory guidelines.
