Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
by EFSA in a recent scientific opinion. This work also gave a precedent in outbreak resolution to the food source using metagenomics to the strain level, and detecting GMM s in microbial fermentation ...
Tick-borne diseases in Belgium: The incidence and economic burden of Lyme borreliosis and the occurrence of other tick-borne infections
have remained. This thesis aims to contribute to the assessment of the burden of LB in Belgium, amongst others, by setting up a prospective cohort study. This work resulted in estimations of the ...
Bepaling van spoorelementen in diverse matrices met spectrometische technieken.
elaboration of (new) legislations for products on the Belgian (or European) market. Method During the bachelor thesis we worked on 2 projects regarding the determination of trace elements: 1. Food enzyme ...
Development of a genoserotyping system for the identification of Salmonella serotypes
slide-agglutination technique. This PhD work showed that a targeted molecular method such as the MOL- PCR & Luminex technology, even though not the most complete technique as compared to WGS, has the potential to improve the ...
DETERMINATION OF SENSITIZING AND IRRITATING LEACHABLES IN MENSTRUAL HYGIENE PRODUCTS
possibly causing allergic or irritant contact dermatitis. Moreover, due to the lack of specific regulation in the EU, these fragrances can be used freely in the production of MHP s. In previous work, 11 ...
DETERMINATION OF ALLERGENIC FRAGRANCE INGREDIENTS IN FEMININE ABSORBENT HYGIENE PRODUCTS AND LUBRICANTS
identified fragrance ingredient, illustrated in the acquired accuracy profiles. Conclusion: It is concluded that the optimized and validated GC- FID- MS method works well for identification and quantification ...
Development of molecular tools for rapid detection and quantification of indoor airborne molds to assess their impact on public health
a valuable alternative. In this PhD work, different molecular tools were developed, from simplex to multiplex, to detect and identify indoor airborne fungi. The goal was to improve the detection of fungal ...
Strategies to detect unauthorized GMO in the food and feed chain (PhD thesis)
https://www.sciensano.be/fr/biblio/strategies-detect-unauthorized-gmo-food-and-feed-chain-phd-thesis
unknown transgenic elements could be detected. This work has thus allowed to provide additional strategies to the current GMO detection system in order to characterize a larger spectrum of GMO, both ...
Detection and risk evaluation of counterfeit medicines based on physico-chemical properties: the fingerprint and chemometrics approach
a suitable analytical technique can be selected. In the future, this working strategy could potentially be expanded to other pharmacological classes of counterfeit medicines such as sleeping aids and ...
Strategies to detect unauthorized genetically modified organisms in food and feed chain
information about the targeted sequences, GMO composed only of unknown transgenic elements could be detected. This work has thus allowed to provide additional strategies to the current GMO detection system in ...
