Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
microbiological foodborne contaminants to the strain level and with achievement of a relatedness study (phylogeny), with a focus on the applicability of the method in order to be easily implemented in reference ...
Development of a data-intensive centralized system for surveillance and outbreak investigation of bacterial pathogens using whole-genome sequencing
a limiting factor, as full runs on Illumina sequencers typically take several days to complete. Therefore, a real-time data analysis protocol for Illumina sequencing was implemented, enabling data analysis ...
Social integration of people with severe mental illness: A challenge for health care systems and policies
2000s, many countries have developed interventions that specifically targeted it. Despite major reforms in mental health care and the implementation of such interventions, their social integration has, ...
Chemical and toxciological characterization of e-liquid cigarettes
electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) has increased significantly in the past decade. In Belgium, the implementation of the revised European Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) in 2014 marked a turning point for ...
Development of a genoserotyping system for the identification of Salmonella serotypes
these techniques which are usually only fully mastered at National Reference Centers (NRC s). Despite the fact that these techniques are implemented worldwide since more than 80 years, they are not fully ...
Strategies to detect unauthorized GMO in the food and feed chain (PhD thesis)
https://www.sciensano.be/en/biblio/strategies-detect-unauthorized-gmo-food-and-feed-chain-phd-thesis
choice for consumers, genetically modified organisms (GMO) legislations have been established in many countries, including in Europe (EU). However, the implementation of these legislations by the ...
Strategies to detect unauthorized genetically modified organisms in food and feed chain
(EU). However, the implementation of these legislations by the enforcement laboratories is becoming complex due mainly to the increasing number and diversity of GMO. To cope with the problematic of EU ...
Impact of tobacco control interventions on health expectancies: use of dynamic modelling for health impact assessment in Belgium
scenario indicate that implementation of new anti-smoking strategies or stricter enforcement of already existing policy/intervention methods would potentially gain more HLY and reduce ULY. Health Topics: ...
Exploring the added value of Whole Genome Sequencing in routine and pandemic viral surveillance
of new antiviral drugs that target other segments, there is an increased need to obtain information about the whole influenza genome and we evaluated how WGS could be implemented to detect drug ...
