Recognition for research

“I am really pleased that we have received such recognition for the quality of our research!”, says Astrid Martens, researcher at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine’s Institute for Risk Assessment Sciences (IRAS). “The American Journal of Epidemiology is a very prestigious periodical in the field of epidemiology. We are therefore very proud to have been chosen as one of the top 10. Our research was conducted very carefully, with a longitudinal structure, a multi-disciplinary approach, and the contribution of a very large number of participants.”
