Proposal Objectives: Environmental chemical mixtures: health disease associations (Human studies) Human fetal liver and placenta EDC burdens and profiling miRNA biomarkers. IVF embryos & gamete exposome: developmental consequences
Proposal Objectives: Environmental chemical mixtures: health disease associations (Animal models) EDC burden of meat - sewage sludge model – human exposure (exposome) Dog sentinel species: consumption of meat and sharing environment. Fetal, neonatal & adult. Biomarkers in sheep and dog models Susceptibility: cohort of sludge exposed animals with and without testis abnormalities (Biomarkers)
The partnership: Existing network Skills Requirements REEF FP7 & clustered DEER and CONTAMED Skills Access to unique human fetal tissue. Chemical measurement Animal models – sheep, dog Histology, omics technologies & next generation sequencing Requirements Epidemiologist Clinical input
