Robin Wegh

Robin Wegh is a Researcher at Wageningen Food Safety Research, part of Wageningen University & Research, where he leads the active project "Methodeontwikkeling, accreditatiebehoud en inventariserend onderzoek diervoeders" (WOT-02-004-014, WOT-02-004-021) from 2008 to 2025. As a member of Team Animal Drugs, his work focuses on veterinary drug analysis, biocide detection, and metabolite identification in food and feed safety using advanced mass spectrometry techniques.

Wegh's research centers on Veterinary Drug Chemistry, High Resolution Mass Spectrometry, and Data Processing, with significant contributions to tandem mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry applications. His work addresses critical gaps in detecting adulterated products, grey zone biocidal claims in poultry/dairy systems, and developing software tools for retrospective assessment of cattle exposure to pesticides and antibiotics.

His recent publications reveal a strong trajectory in high-resolution mass spectrometry for food safety validation, particularly in workflow development for unexpected result analysis (2026) and comparative studies of compound identification tools (2023). These works demonstrate methodological innovation in veterinary drug screening and metabolite analysis across agricultural and biological sciences.

Wegh currently leads a major multi-year project (WOT-02-004-014/021) focused on analytical method development, accreditation maintenance, and exploratory research for animal feed safety. The project involves collaborations with Blokland, Nijssen, van de Schans, and others, utilizing liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry, and tandem techniques.

As core personnel in Team Animal Drugs at Wageningen Food Safety Research, Wegh contributes to analytical frameworks for veterinary drug detection, biocide assessment, and feed additive verification, operating within specialized laboratories equipped for high-resolution mass spectrometry and data processing workflows.
