Research Interests
My research focuses on natural toxins (mycotoxins & cyanotoxins) and other emerging contaminants in novel food. I combine LC-MS/MS detection with in vitro mixture toxicology models to study human health impact.
- Detection of natural food contaminants (postgraduate students, PhDs, Postdocs)
- Application of Large Language Models in food contaminants (Postdoc / research assistants)
- Mixture toxicology with a focus on food contaminants using NAMs (postgraduate students, PhDs, Postdocs)
Scholarships & Fellowships
We support applications for scholarships and fellowships such as Marie Curie, DFF, Novo Nordisk Foundation, Villum Foundation, and others.
Exceptional and motivated candidates are encouraged to get in touch for guidance on proposal writing and research topics.
