Overview

A.M. van Vuuren is affiliated with Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands, contributing to research primarily in the fields of Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, Agricultural and Biological Sciences, and Medicine. Their research covers significant subfields including Molecular Biology, Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics, and Emergency Medicine.

The scientist has focused on topics such as Plant Toxicity and Pharmacological Properties, Botanical Research and Chemistry, and Poisoning and Overdose Treatments. These thematic areas reflect an intersection of biochemical processes and applied agricultural and medical sciences.

One of van Vuuren's recent publications is titled Transfer of pyrrolizidine alkaloids from ragwort, common groundsel and viper's bugloss to milk from dairy cows, published in 2020 in Food Additives & Contaminants Part A.
