Abstract:
Sciensano is a public scientific institution committed to connecting health, science and society. It puts its data, its scientific excellence and expertise and its network to work for the benefit of human and animal health. Sciensano's strength lies in its holistic and interdisciplinary approach to health ('One Health'), which it applies in its scientific activities, services and advice.

Marine research applications can be found at Sciensano at different topics. A few examples of possible applications are: food-borne illness caused by marine biotoxins found in seafood because of toxic algae belonging to the chemical contaminants; diseases (e.g. Avian influenza) affecting sea birds; analysis and risk characterisation of arsenic species in food supplements based on algae and marine animals; analysis and risk evaluation of marine toxins, such as: Amnesic or Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning toxins (ASP&PSP) and lipophilic group toxins; analysis of metals and trace elements in marine sediments and biota. The most recent approach includes the risk-benefit analysis of fish consumption.
