Applied Mycology

•  Mould ecophysiology- Predictive Mycology for food/feed safety
  
• Fate of mycotoxins during food processing
  
• Mycotoxin Exposure Assessment –biomonitoring
  
• Molecular tools applied to mycotoxigenic fungal species

• Isolation and characterization of moulds from foods and feeds
  
• Determination of mycotoxins and metabolites
  
• Analysis of gene expression and phylogenetic studies
  
• Studies to assess the effect of food processing on mycotoxins
  
• Exposure assessment studies
  
• In vitro bioaccessibility studies

World leading position in mycotoxin prevention strategies in foods and feeds based on manipulation of environmental storage/field conditions for the most relevant mycotoxin-producing fungi, Europe leading position in predictive mycology applied to mycotoxins.
