Traffic Safety Hasselt University
The research programme 'risk and evaluation studies' mainly focuses on the relation between infrastructure, the environment, driving behavior and its impact on traffic safety.
Patient Safety and Quality
Our 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.
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.
