The VLAG Online Lecture Series
- The VLAG scientific community is buzzing with ground breaking ideas, knowledge and expertise. As is often the case, they are shared with people in the field, but not necessarily within a broader setting. To introduce the numerous great topics that our researchers are working on, we are organising a series of live online VLAG expert lectures. -
FOOD PROTEINS: Significance, Reactions and Modifications
- This course will give an overview of the composition, structure and properties of the main proteins from plant and animal origin, using examples from meat, dairy, and legume. Chemical reactions that result from processing and other treatments and their effect on protein structure and properties will be discussed, together with the advanced techniques used to analyze and quantify these changes. -
Safety by Design
- THIS COURSE IS POSTPONED! The new date will be announced shortly (most likely March '21)
Safe-by-design as a driver for innovation in Biotechnology
This course aims to share the current status of Safe-by-Design concepts, and to train (future) scientists to assess all aspects of projects, from the project idea through the research phase to the final product, with relation to potential safety aspects. -
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. -
NEW DATE! Summer Course Glycosciences
- This broad course in glycosciences combines general introductions in the field of carbohydrates and glycoproteins with in-depth sessions. -
Modelling of habitual dietary intake
- In this course the focus will be on statistical modelling of habitual intake using SPADE (Statistical Program to Assess Dietary Exposure). The course will consist of a combination of lectures on general principles of modelling habitual intake, lectures on how to use SPADE, and practical exercises with SPADE.
