Kris Huygen - Infectious Diseases

Author Information

Kris Huygen is an esteemed researcher affiliated with the Service "Immunology," Operational Direction Communicable and Infectious Diseases at the Scientific Institute of Public Health (WIV-ISP) in Brussels, Belgium. His work primarily focuses on infectious diseases, with a strong emphasis on understanding and diagnosing various bacterial infections, including those caused by Bordetella pertussis and Mycobacterium species.

Research Contributions

Kris Huygen has made significant contributions to the field of infectious diseases through his extensive research on pertussis, tuberculosis, and other mycobacterial infections. His studies have explored various aspects such as seroprevalence, immune response, and diagnostic improvements in infectious diseases. Notably, Huygen's research has provided valuable insights into the serodiagnosis of pertussis and the immune response mechanisms in mycobacterial infections, which have been crucial for both human and veterinary health.
