Milou van de Schans

Dr. Milou van de Schans is a Researcher with Team Animal Drugs at Wageningen University & Research. Her work focuses on veterinary drug residues, food safety hazards, and environmental impacts of agricultural practices. She investigates antibiotic pathways in agricultural systems and safety aspects of circular food production.

Her current projects examine antibiotic residues in multi-functional reservoirs and their ecological impacts, as well as the safety of insect-based food systems using waste streams. She develops analytical methods for detecting emerging contaminants in food chains and assesses risks in novel food production systems.

Dr. van de Schans actively presents research on veterinary drug monitoring and food safety in circular economies at international conferences. She maintains research collaborations on global antimicrobial resistance monitoring through sewage analysis.
