Capacity Building European Excellence Label (Project)
Challenge: Risk Assessment (RA) is a not very well-known scientific discipline. Thus, sufficient training opportunities in the field of RA are limited, which leads to a growing need for Capacity Building in food and feed RA. Project objective: The project aims to establish a European Excellence Label (EEL) by 2025, which is useed as a seal of quality for courses in Food Safety RA. The EEL...

Dioxin exposure via breast milk and sperm quality in adulthood - follow-up measurement and inclusion of long-chain per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (Project)
The project "Investigation of connections between exposure to dioxins in infancy and sperm quality in young adulthood in the Ulm birth cohort" (BfR-LMS-08-60-0102-02.P598) addresses the question of a connection between early childhood exposure to dioxins and parameters of sperm quality in early adulthood. New scientific findings make it necessary to include exposure to per- and polyfluorinated...

Application of proteomics methods to identify biomarkers for key events in MWCNT-induced lung toxicity. (Project)
This project investigates adverse lung effects of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), which due to their excellent material properties are increasingly used in various applications. MWCNTs exist in different variants and the number of variants is steadily increasing. Certain MWCNTs show fiber pathogenic properties in the lungs similar to asbestos. Other adverse effects such as pulmonary...

Alternative Protein Sources - Review for the 24th DGE Ernährungsbericht (Project)
The PBE is currently preparing a review on different alternative protein sources, which will be a chapter in the nutritional report of the German Society for Nutrition. The content will provide an overview of various alternative protein sources that are likely to be consumed more in the future. For each source, we will examine the maturity of the underlying technologies, describe challenges and...

Cultivation of Gambierdiscus for the extraction of ciguatoxins (CTX) (Project)
Ciguatoxins (CTXs) are a group of marine biotoxins. CTXs are complex lipophilic polyethers, produced by dinoflagellates. Because of their lipophilic properties, CTXs can accumulate in the marine food web after being consumed and subsequently can undergo biotransformation processes. To date, over 30 different CTX congeners have been described. These congeners can be detected in various marine...

PFAS in the LIFE Child cohort - Longitudinal Internal Exposure and Associations with Vaccine Antibodies (Project)
The LIFE Child Cohort is a research project on child health at the University of Leipzig that has been running since 2011 and has so far included more than 5000 children. The children are examined longitudinally, ideally annually and from birth. In the project, frozen serum samples from selected children are examined for PFAS. The aim is on the one hand to record the course of internal exposure...

Systematic breastfeeding monitoring: Early childhood nutrition survey in Germany (feasibility study) (Project)
The establishment of systematic breastfeeding monitoring is an integral part of the National Strategy for the Promotion of Breastfeeding. Breastfeeding monitoring is used to collect valid data on breastfeeding behavior in Germany and to quantify the success and targeting of breastfeeding promotion measures. Through a prospective, continuous collection of data on breastfeeding behavior, targeted...

Development of routinely applicable Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) techniques for the charaterization of foodborne viruses (Project)
Foodborne viruses gain increasing importance in food safety. For example, norovirus (NoV)-contaminated food often led to gastroenteritis outbreaks in the past, e.g. in 2012 with more than 10.000 diseased people due to the consumption of NoV-contaminated strawberries. In addition, liver inflammations, which are caused by the hepatitis E virus (HEV) have been steeply increased during the last 10...

AWMF guideline 'Breastfeeding duration and interventions to promote breastfeeding' (S3) (Project)
Breastfeeding promotion and counselling both work most effectively if they are carried out in accordance with the latest scientific findings. Current scientific evidence is increasingly being included in medical guidelines drafted under the auspices of the Association of the Scientific Medical Societies in Germany (AWMF). To ensure that all the occupational groups which interact with pregnant or...
