Name "Responsible (Organisation)" "Activity (Organisation)" "Affiliation (Researcher)" "Patient Safety and Quality" "Kris Vanhaecht" "Patient Safety and QualityOur multidisciplinary team designs and facilitates research studies, organises teaching activities and delivers scientific support to society around the different domains of quality: safety, efficiency, effectiveness, timely, equity and patient centered. " "Product Quality and Innovation" "Optimal processing of primary agricultural products (plant and animal) into quality food, feed and non-food products is our focus, particularly dairy, meat and fish products, ready-made meals, vegetables and fruits. We study quality improvement, authenticity, nutritional and functional properties, taste, nutrition and health, detection of GMOs and allergens, valorization of secondary flows and new applications from plant biotechnology." "Biomedical Quality Assurance Research Unit" "Els Dequeker" "The research unit ‘Biomedical Quality Assurance’ focuses on the longitudinal study of various quality aspects of molecular (genetical) lab research. The research group was at the basis of the elaboration of highly important quality assessement programs for genetic diseases and oncobiomarker tests. The results of several research projects have demonstrated the importance of introducing a quality management system in diagnostic laboratories and of the elaboration of directives and guidelines." "Medical Physics & Quality Assessment" "Hilde Bosmans" "The research activities of the Medical Physics and Quality assessment research group include ionizing as well as non-ionizing imaging modalities. Both of them are characterized by a rapid technological development and many new radiological applications.Our activities focus on modeling of different aspects of the imaging process, optimization of radiological images, the proposal and validation of new data processing and automated quality management." "Biometry, Methodology and Quality Assurance" "Pieter Verschelde" "The Biometry, Methodology and Quality Assurance (BMK) team guides scientific INBO staff in adopting best practices in research phases such as design, data collection, statistical data analysis and reporting. The team serves as a reference for sound and consistent scientific research methodology. The team members stimulate all components of Open Science practice at INBO. The team leads projects where design and quality assurance of monitoring schemes and data analysis are focal. Examples are the standardized monitoring schemes for the Natura 2000 Habitat and Bird Directives in Flanders. The team has a high level of expertise in survey design, statistical data analysis (R programming language), reproducible research (a.o. Git and GitHub for version control; R Markdown for literate programming) and quality assurance. They have extensive experience in processing biodiversity, environmental and geospatial data. Finally, the team also gives training in statistical good practice either in class or through tutorials. " "Aquatic Environment and Quality" "Using an integrated approach (long- and short-term), we study the biological, toxicological and chemical effects of pollution, exotic species, sand extraction and dredging, windmills, fisheries and protected marine areas. We also study all types of marine ecosystems. For fisheries products, we assess the genetic, biological and (bio)chemical quality by developing freshness and authenticity analyses and applying them to the products." "Biometry and Quality Assurance" "Department of Food safety and food quality" "The department consists of three laboratories : Research Group Food Chemistry and Human Nutrition, Laboratory of Food Microbiology and Food Preservation, and Laboratory of Food Technology and Engineering." "Educational Quality Assurance Office" "The University of Ghent uses a denegemented sustem of educational quality assurance. The faculties are responsible for the development of internal quality control and improvement of the educational learning processes and of the curricula. They are supported in this by a centralized service." "Researchgroup Quality care" "Quality care"
