Occurrence of microcystin congeners in surface waters and food in Belgium as a source of exposure to humans
group worldwide, the microcystin congeners (MC s). After method validation, the quantitative UHPLC- MS / MS approaches were applied to Belgian samples to characterize potential human exposure sources in ...
Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
had only rarely been associated with human cases of an outbreak, let alone during a real outbreak. Therefore, this PhD centered on the development of shotgun metagenomics methods to study ...
Development of a genoserotyping system for the identification of Salmonella serotypes
infect humans, but also animals which are its main reservoir. Humans are mostly infected through the consumption of animal-derived food products. Besides its impact on public health, another major concern ...
Genotoxic evaluation of the liquids present in electronic cigarettes
immunological responses in animal models. Whether these findings are also relevant to humans remains unclear. [Aim] The genotoxic potential of flavouring substances present in e-cigarettes was studied using ...
Pyrrolizidine alkaloids in food… the good, the bad and the ugly!
herbivores and are believed to be one of the most widely spread natural toxins. They can affect wildlife, livestock and humans via food consumption. Outbreaks in farm animals can cause economic losses to ...
Risk for animal and human health related to the presence of dioxins and dioxin‐like PCBs in feed and food

Fusarium, clinical relevance and mass spectrometry methods for identification, using strains of the Belgian fungal culture collection BCCM/IHEM
Mass Spectrometry Abstract: A correct identification of mold species causing human infections is of the utmost importance since treatment may differ depending on the infecting species. However, this is ...
Development of molecular tools for rapid detection and quantification of indoor airborne molds to assess their impact on public health
have some limitations. For example, uncultivable or dead fungi (“unknown” fraction) cannot be identified, although they could have an impact on human health. In this context, molecular tools seem to be ...
Study of the possible migration risks of food contact materials for children under 3 years
food packaging) from which it can be released into the food, the major exposure source of BPA to humans. Since BPA has endocrine disrupting properties, its use was prohibited for the production of ...
Ontwikkeling van een HILIC-PDA methode voor de detectie van illegale polypeptiden
ammoniumformaat 80% acetonitrille (ACN) oplossing met pH 3 en een 10 mM ammoniumformaat 40% ACN oplossing met pH 3 aangewend. Aangezien humane insuline, runder- en varkensinsuline in een 80% ACN oplossing niet of ...
