European Study to Establish Biomarkers of Human Ageing (MARK-AGE)
Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2013,
The rate of ageing in humans is not uniform, due to genetic heterogeneity and the influence of environmental factors. Age-related changes in body function or composition that could serve as a measure of “biological” age and predict the onset of age-related diseases and/or residual lifetime are termed “biomarkers of ageing”. Many candidate biomarkers have been proposed but in all cases their variab ...

CONtaminants in Food and Feed: Inexpensive DEtectioN for Control of Exposure (CONffIDENCE)
Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
RASFF alerts show that monitoring of chemical contaminants in food and feed is very relevant in European food safety. Also consumers placed chemical contaminants on top of the “worry-scale” of food-related risks. According to the General Food Law, food and feed industries are responsible for the safety of their products. Often expensive instrumental single-analyte methods are being applied by regu ...
