Past Courses
-
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. -
Advanced Organic Chemistry
- Advanced course for PhD candidates with a solid background and interest in Organic Chemistry, who are intrinsically motivated to develop an advanced understanding of modern organic chemistry and gain insight into reaction mechanisms and the underlying concepts. -
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.). -
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. -
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. -
Microalgae Biorefinery
- Advanced course, 3rd edition, designing optimal microalgae-based biorefineries, from unit operations to the entire process chain, for both research and commercial applications and to be able to address the present bottlenecks in the process chain.
-
Healthy and sustainable diets: synergies and trade-offs
- 2nd International Master class to broaden disciplinary thinking in agriculture, food sciences, nutrition and health to arrive at a disciplinary research perspective on healthy and sustainable diets. It aims to contribute to synergy between scientific disciplines, applied research and stakeholders along the food supply chain. -
Microalgae Process Design: from cells to photobioreactors
- This course provides the essential skills for designing optimal microalgae-based production processes, for both research and commercial purposes. -
Advanced Course 'Microscopy and Spectroscopy in Food and Plant Sciences'
- This course will cover the theory behind a number of advanced microscopic and micro-spectroscopic techniques that have a wide range of applications in both the Food and Plant Sciences. -
Applied Biocatalysis
- This 4th masterclass will provide detailed information on the basic principles of enzymes, enzyme immobilization and matters relevant to their industrial use.
