Zoonotic Anticipation and Preparedness Initiative (ZAPI)

Start date: Mar 1, 2015, End date: Feb 29, 2020,

Emerging infectious diseases are occurring at increasing frequency in Europe and other regions of the world, having profound impacts on public and/or veterinary health as well as disruptive effects on sector, regional or even global economy. The predominantly zoonotic nature of emerging pathogens calls for a One Health approach uniting the human medical and veterinary fields, dedicated to swiftly ...

GMP Two Year Safety Testing (G-TwYST)

Start date: Apr 21, 2014, End date: Apr 20, 2018,

G-TwYST will execute rat feeding trials with GM maize NK 603 based on OECD Test Guidelines and according to EFSA considerations. In the case of maize NK603 two 90-day and a combined 2-year chronic toxicity/carcinogenicity study will be performed. By combining the results of the G-TwYST project with those of the GRACE project (90-day and 1-year study with maize MON810) it will be possible for the ...

Impact of food ingredients and contaminants on endogenous inflammation mediators – Targeted metabolomics of the eicosanoid pathway (FOOD-OXYLIPIN-TOX)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

Eicosanoids and oxidative metabolites of other poly-unsaturated fatty acids represent one of the most potent classes of endogenous cellular mediators. Although about 80% of pharmaceuticals influence the formation of these oxylipins, little is known in regard to alteration by food ingredients. The aim of this project is to investigate the effects of these compounds on endogenous oxylipin levels app ...
