Department of Food Science

My primary research focus is centred in understanding how we are affected by the foods we eat. I use advanced techniques in metabolomics to identify micronutrients in food and the resulting metabolite perturbations in biofluids (blood, urine, faeces). Moreover, I combine and integrate the metabolite profiles with next gen sequencing-data to identify alterations in individual bacteria in our gastrointestinal tract caused by food. Besides research I am also teaching both in the analytical techniques in metabolomics and in the statistical analysis of the resulting data in *omics (multivariate data analysis)
