Past Courses
-
CANCELED! Advanced Course Bioprocess Design
- With recent advances in molecular biology and a growing biomass availability for use as industrial feedstock, the bio-based economy is getting a wider range of inputs. Scaling up the bio(techno)logy innovations and implementation in large-scale factories or biorefineries clearly is a present bottleneck: industries are struggling to get the bio-opportunities to the market, as experienced industrial bioprocess designers and operational experts are not readily available to meet the growing needs. -
CANCELED - Energy metabolism and body composition in nutrition and health research
- 3rd Advanced course on Energy Metabolism and Body Composition in Nutrition and Health Research, with this time a special focus on Cancer -
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. -
Dairy protein biochemistry and proteomics
- Within this masterclass, you will learn about the specific features of the two main classes of dairy proteins, whey proteins and caseins. You will gain insight into the different analytical methodologies that exist to characterize dairy proteins, their variations and molecular features, like modifications. Finally, you will gain quantitative insight into the nutritional quality of dairy proteins in the human diet. -
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. -
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.
