Larissa Jansen

Larissa Jansen serves as a Research Officer at Wageningen University & Research within the Team Animal Drugs, focusing on veterinary drug residues and antimicrobial resistance in animal production systems. Her work bridges laboratory analysis, field surveillance, and food safety policy to address critical challenges in agricultural pharmacology.

Her research centers on veterinary pharmacology and food safety, with specialized expertise in antibiotic residue monitoring across livestock systems (veal calves, broilers, hens) and novel food matrices like edible insects. Key investigations include transmission pathways of antimicrobial residues, ecological impacts of antibiotics in aquatic environments, and development of rapid screening methodologies for veterinary drugs. This work directly informs surveillance strategies to mitigate antimicrobial resistance risks in the food chain.

Analysis of her recent publications reveals a cohesive research trajectory emphasizing practical monitoring solutions for antibiotic use in agriculture. Her 2024-2025 output demonstrates strong focus on veal calf production systems, analytical validation for emerging food sectors (edible insects), and environmental consequences of antibiotic pollution. The work consistently integrates pharmacological testing with agricultural practice data to model residue transmission and resistance development.

Jansen operates within Wageningen University & Research's Team Animal Drugs, which develops evidence-based tools for veterinary drug residue detection. The team collaborates extensively with Dutch food safety authorities on national surveillance frameworks, contributing to risk-based monitoring systems that protect consumer health while supporting sustainable livestock production.
