Josha Jager

Josha Jager is a Researcher at Wageningen Food Safety Research, part of Wageningen University & Research, specializing in analytical methods for food and feed safety validation. His work focuses on residue detection and contaminant screening in animal-derived food products using advanced mass spectrometry techniques.

His core research interests include Food Safety, Food Science, Mass Spectrometry, and Analytical Chemistry, with specific expertise in antibiotic residue analysis, steroid screening, and metabolite profiling. He develops rapid detection workflows for veterinary drug residues in bovine and porcine matrices, addressing critical gaps in food safety control systems.

Recent publications reveal a concentrated research trajectory in high-resolution mass spectrometry applications, particularly GC-HRMS and coated blade spray techniques. His work emphasizes practical solutions for real-time contaminant detection in meat and urine samples, directly supporting regulatory compliance in food safety monitoring.

Jager operates within the Team Growth Promotors unit at Wageningen Food Safety Research, contributing to national food safety initiatives through method development and technical innovation in analytical chemistry.
