Education
In our research we strive to apply advanced analytical chemical and biological techniques to enable innovations in the health and nutrition domain. We investigate both beneficial and potentially harmful effects of natural substances, particularly on the intestines and the immune system. Collaborations with our partners (start-ups and established companies, other knowledge institutes) are focused on themes such as food safety, protein transition, and the development of innovative production methods for medicines.

Collaboration
The research group formed the basis of the Innovation Lab (iLab) Life Sciences & Chemistry in Utrecht, which provides the space for collaboration with professionals who are active in professional practice. We also work closely with other research institutes, as well as with partners from the (international) business community.
