Fisheries and Aquatic Production Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
This research includes fisheries biology, fishing gear and aquaculture. We study the status of commercial fish stocks and give advice for setting the fishing quota. The ecological and economic effects of (new types of) fishing gear and alternative fishing methods are examined. We study fish/shellfish aquaculture systems at sea as well as in recirculation systems on land. Innovations are implemented using an integrated approach.

Food Safety Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
Here we study the microbiological and chemical safety of food products along the entire production chain. We test analytical methods for detecting zoonotic pathogens, spoilage organisms and veterinary drug residues, and research control and remedial measures. We also study cleaning and disinfection, antibiotic resistance, virulence and/or persistence of pathogens and spoilage organisms, migration from packaging, and mycotoxins.
Frailty in Ageing Vrije Universiteit Brussel
HISTORY
Existing collaboration between the Gerontology (GERO) Department of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) and the Clinical Department of Geriatrics (UZ Brussels) has led in 2007 to the creation of the Frailty in Ageing (FRIA) research group for both fundamental and clinical research on frailty in the elderly. FRIA conducts a focussed research program on Frailty.
