European Medical Information Framework (EMIF)
Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2017,
In response to the need to tackle increasingly complex medical research questions, a growing amount of human health data is being collected, either in routine Electronic Healthcare Record (EHR) databases, through research-driven cohort studies, in biobanks or related efforts. However, data sources are typically fragmented and contain information gaps which prevent their full exploitation. EMIF aim ...

Novel infrared spectroscopic tools for mycotoxin determination in foodstuffs for increased food safety (MYCOSPEC)
Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2016,
Mycotoxins are contaminants produced by fungi that infest food crops and processed foods. Mycotoxins enter the food chain via infected crops that are either directly consumed by humans or indirectly ingested as a consequence of crops as an animal feed ingredient. These toxins have been linked to human oesophageal cancer, equine leukoencephalomalacia, and toxic feed syndrome in poultry, and pulmona ...
