Scientific courses
-
Stable Isotope Methods in Nutrition Research
- The course will provide advanced understanding of the principles and concepts of different stable isotope techniques in nutrition research. -
Advanced Proteomics
- Proteomics is the study of the proteome, the set of proteins expressed in an organism. The proteome can change dramatically depending on biological conditions. Proteomics is able to capture detailed snapshots of the proteome using mass spectrometry. The rapid development in technical advances of instrumentation has led to new bioinformatics approaches. In this course the focus will be on sample preparation and data analysis. -
Rheology: The do's and don'ts
- Participants will learn how to identify typical material characteristics in rheological data (yield stress, shear thinning, fracture, etc.). -
Intestinal microbiome of humans and animals
- 5th edition
This course aims to provide a detailed scientific background on the mechanisms that underlie the role of the microbiome in human and animal nutrition and health. The program combines knowledge on microbial composition and function with dietary factors and health aspects in humans, laboratory and farm animals. -
Big Data Analysis in the Life Sciences
- Technological and scientific advances have pushed the Life sciences into the BIG data era. The increased volume and heterogeneity of available data challenges scientists to master techniques for comprehensive data analysis. Extracting meaningful (biological) information from large datasets is increasingly becoming a challenge in all fields of life sciences. Thus, the ability to select and deploy analysis tools and algorithms has become an indispensable skill for all researchers. In this course, we aim to introduce participants to techniques for comprehensive data analysis of large, heterogeneous datasets and extract relevant information for elucidating biological design principles. The course is modular and focuses on data generation, mining, analysis, data integration, and visualization. -
15th International Postgraduate Course on the Production and Use of Food Composition Data in Nutrition
- How to produce, manage and use good quality food composition data in a standardized way.
