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 group studies the nutritional value of foods and food products, and the relationship between nutrition and health of humans. We are associated to nutriFOODchem, where our research activities are related to bio-active components in food and food derived products. We develop advanced in vitro cell culture models to be used for intelligent combination of in vitro digestion, transport and bioactivity models, with the objective to evaluate in vitro in a more realistic way the potential of bioactives in human nutrition. We focus on endogenous metabolites under realistic concentrations and duration times and in combination with repeated exposures. Characterisation of metabolites is done during digestion, absorption and metabolism.
