SURFACE IMPRINTED POLYMERS TECHNOLOGY AND NANOPORE SEQUENCING FOR POINT OF CARE FOOD MICROBIAL ANALYSIS Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
SIPORE aims at exploring and testing Surface Imprinted Polymers (SIP) biosensors in combination with a portable nanopore DNA sequencing system (MinION) for on-site microbial analysis in the agrifood industry. The two technologies, SIP and whole genome nanopore sequencing, hold great promise for fast, on-site detection and characterization of foodborne bacterial pathogens and for monitoring of ...
SIPORE: Surface Imprinted Polymers technology and nanopore sequencing for point of care food microbial analysis Ghent University
Development and application of high-throughput mass spectrometry technology for microbial monitoring of spontaneous beer fermentations Ghent University
Microbial Resource Management: investigating the microbial diversity in order to predict the ecosystem functionality Ghent University
Using the human gut as a model system, we will investigate how microbial communities - characterized by different structures and functionalities - react under changing environmental conditions and biological invasion, in order to derive predictive ecological models. We will validate the obtained results working with human microbiota-associated mouse models challenged with physiologically relevant stressors.
The genetic basis of bacterial invasion into a microbial community. A determinant for the success of microbial biotechnology. KU Leuven
The microbial ecology of industrial activated sludge plants – linking microbial data (e.g. filamentous organisms) to external factors University of Antwerp
Master of Science in Food Technology (InterUniversity Programme in Food Technology IUPFOOD) KU Leuven
The IUPFOOD Connect project, coordinated by KU Leuven and UGent, will create an international environment for students to be trained in the field of food science and technology. The project will focus on three key areas: (i) The organisation of the IUPFOOD programme in the North. This covers the support of students from the South throughout their studies. The experience built up over the past years will be shared with the partners in the ...
