OBesogenic Endocrine disrupting chemicals: LInking prenatal eXposure to the development of obesity later in life (OBELIX)
Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2013,
"The incidence of childhood obesity has reached ‘epidemic’ proportions globally and there is an urgent need to increase our understanding of the impact of food contaminants on obesity development.

OBELIX proposes a multidis ...

Accelerating the transition to a toxicity pathway-based paradigm for chemical safety assessment through internationally coordinated research and technology development (AXLR8)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2013,
Conventional approaches to toxicity testing and risk assessment are often decades old, costly and low-throughput, and of dubious relevance to humans. These factors have prompted leading scientific bodies to call for a transition to a 21st century paradigm, including a move away from apical outcomes at high doses in whole animals, and toward a mechanistic understanding of the source-to-outcome cont ...
