Professor Lynn Vanhaecke

RESEARCH FOCUS

Professor Vanhaecke’s research focus is mainly HRMS-based (untargeted) metabolomics, enclosing multi-component screening and enabling for instance biomarker studies, which are specifically designed to serve multiple applications with a particular focus on food intake and food-related Western diseases.

RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES

Open to PhD applications from those who have an interest in;

  • Biofluid metabolomics for discovering biomarkers for diet-related conditions.
  • Tissue metabolomics and DNA adductomics to unravel the link between meat consumption and Western diseases.
  • Environmental metabolomics to study environmental contamination.
  • Food metabolomics as a means to determine food safety and quality.
