Enhancing Food safety: An international approach to real-time foodborne pathogen data sharing (Project)
Detecting international foodborne outbreaks caused by plant-based raw materials remains a challenge for the relevant authorities. Simpler and more feasible strategies for sharing genome sequence data of foodborne pathogens isolated from imported food can significantly help to identify long-lasting international outbreaks more quickly. While clinical isolates are useful for identifying an...

Evaluation of a zebrafish larvae model to investigate the virulence of different Salmonella strains as an alternative to conventional animal experiments (Project)
This research project aims to establish an innovative zebrafish larvae model as an alternative method to conventional animal testing. The focus is on investigating the virulence of different Salmonella strains. This model is intended to complement and extend the Caenorhabditis elegans virulence assay already successfully implemented in FG42 and in Division Biological Safety of the BfR in order to...

Correlations of internal and external exposure for the use of epidemiological studies for risk assessment (Project)
In the scope of the EPIC-study there will be analysed blood samples with regard to arsenic in cooperation with the DKFZ Heidelberg. Therefore, data from EPIC-Heidelberg of 3.794 participants at the age of 35-65 years will be considered, that have been recruited between 1994-1998. The DKFZ will use the data for evaluating epidemiological questions in the context of the development of breast cancer...

PEACHES: Examination in adolescence (PEACHES Teenager) (Project)
The overall objectives are the longitudinal investigation of (1) the development of unfavourable dietary patterns and nutrition-related diseases and of (2) potentially positive or negative effects of a (longer-term) vegetarian/vegan diet in children (compared to omnivorous control group) up to adolescence. Using the existing child dataset from birth to primary school age, in combination with a...

Promoting Innovations of Fermented Foods (Project)
Fermented foods (FF) are important due to their benefits for nutrition, sustainability, innovation, cultural heritage and consumer interest and are deeply rooted in the European food culture. Their potential to improve human health, promote innovation in the food sector but also the local production is of great importance in the coming decades. The challenge of COST-PIMENTO is to bring together...

Development of a human Multi-Organ-on-Chip System to investigate the function of monocytes and macrophages after ischemia-reperfusion damage (Project)
The project aims to develop a novel multi-organ-on-a-chip system based on human cell types that can recapitulate the infiltration of monocytes and macrophages into cardiac tissue after ischemia-reperfusion injury in vitro and thus replace animal models. The key aspects and related questions include: 1) The optimization of a MOoC prototype into a cardiac tissue model that better reflects the cell...

Follow-up investigation on rodenticide residues in wild boar 2024 (Project)
The aim of the project is to obtain further data on a possible presence of pesticide residues (rodenticides) in wild boar as a follow-up on a previous project (BfR-SiP-08-60-0102-02.P595). The data may be used to assess consumer risk. Within the framework of the project, liver samples from wild boar shot in Brandenburg are analysed for 8 active substances of the group of anticoagulants, which are...

Influence of insect feeding as a biostimulant on the resistance reaction of potatoes to Synchytrium endobioticum, the causative agent of potato wart disease (Project)
In a small research project in collaboration with the company REPLOID, the biostimulatory effect of insect feeding on the resistance of potatoes to potato wart disease is to be investigated. In order to investigate the influence of insect damage on the resistance reaction of potatoes to potato wart disease, pot tests are carried out in which different inoculum variants (with and without insect...

Collaborative project: Single-plant-specific fertilization for resource-efficient and demand-optimized cultivation of rapeseed and maize in equidistant seeding – Subproject A (Project)
New approaches and new technical seeding methods (equal seed patterns) combined with plant-specific fertilization are intended to bring nitrogen uptake and nitrogen supply via fertilizers into better accordance than before. This should lead to a significant improvement in Nitrogen Use efficiency (NUE). At the same time, a further reduction of undesirable N losses into water bodies and the...
