Ghent University offers a unique proposal: the collaboration between veterinarians, physicians and scientists from different disciplines present at Ghent University takes the research to a higher level and creates many opportunities for innovation. At our Faculty of Veterinary Medicine these innovations can be tested in our own facilities and on the target species.

My research centers on the important role of nutrition in health, with a focus on how malnutrition affects individuals, especially in children in low and middle-income countries and patients in hospitals at-risk of malnutrition (i.e. cancer). We work to understand the molecular basis of malnutrition to develop effective nutritional therapies. We do this by using advanced omics analyses and molecular epidemiology to study the factors and mechanisms that contribute to malnutrition progression and its convalescence, which can inform better prevention and treatment strategies.
