Past Courses
-
Dairy Protein Biochemistry
- International masterclass on dairy proteins, their variations and molecular features, analytical methodologies for their characterisation, and nutritional quality of dairy proteins in the human diet -
CANCELED: Postgraduate course Healthy Food Design
- Unfortunately we have to cancel the 3rd edition of Healthy Food Design. The course will most likely will be planned again in May/June 2023!
This course provides the essential skills for designing healthy foods for specific categories of consumers in the European legislative framework of nutritional and health claims. -
VLAG Online Lecture Series
- The VLAG scientific community is buzzing with ground breaking ideas, knowledge and expertise. To introduce the numerous great topics that our researchers are working on, we are organising a series of live online VLAG expert lectures. -
Bayesian Data Analysis: a new perspective in the VLAG domain
- A short introduction to the benefits of using Bayesian Data Analysis, with examples from the domains of biotechnology, microbiology, environmental sciences, food, and nutrition. Interesting for staff members, PhDs, postdocs and PIs alike. -
Exposure Assessment in Nutrition Research
- 6th edition
The course will address methodological aspects of exposure assessment in nutrition and related fields of biomedical research. -
Applied Enzymology
- This course will provide detailed information on the basic principles of enzymes, their engineering and immobilisation and on industrial enzymatic conversion processes. Also issues relevant to industrial practice such as intellectual property will be presented. -
Advanced Food Analysis
- 8th advanced course on analytical techniques and applications used in food analysis -
Sensory Perception & Food Preference: into the Future!
- This course is to acquire expertise regarding sensory perception and food preferences; to obtain knowledge and experience in different methods on how to measure (and analyse) these aspects; to connect with other professionals/colleagues in the field. -
Ecophysiology of food-associated micro-organisms: Roles in health and disease
- This advanced course aims to develop expertise in (functional) genomics, ecology and physiology of food-associated micro-organisms, in particular with respect to their impact on health and disease focusing on the microbiology of food fermentation processes addressing the newest scientific insights of complex microbial communities, modelling techniques and novel product functionalities, and on stress-adaptive responses, population diversity and virulence of foodborne pathogens.

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.
