Novel prediction models for genotoxicity based on biomarker genes in human HepaRG™ cells.
genotoxicity were developed based on an extended reference dataset of 38 chemicals including existing as well as newly generated gene expression data. Both unsupervised and supervised machine learning algorithms ...
Belgian Mosquitoes Are Competent for Japanese Encephalitis Virus and Readily Feed on Pigs, Suggesting a High Vectorial Capacity.
Abstract:, a day-active mosquito known to feed aggressively on humans, was reported as a nuisance species near an abandoned pigsty in Belgium. Since Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is an emerging zoonotic ...

EBoD-FL. Guidelines for mapping the environmental burden of disease in Flanders
Flanders, an effort to routinely quantify the environmental disease burden completely and coherently has thus far not been established. For this reason, Sciensano and Agentschap Zorg & Gezondheid are ...
Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
had only rarely been associated with human cases of an outbreak, let alone during a real outbreak. Therefore, this PhD centered on the development of shotgun metagenomics methods to study ...
