Project description
Slovenia creates a world-class research centre focused on metabolomics
Metabolites produced by people, animals and plants during the process of building up and breaking down molecules are biomarkers of biochemical pathways, processes of health and disease and the effectiveness of interventions. Metabolomics refers to the large-scale study of all the metabolites present from the cell to the organism level. The EU-funded Foodomics project aims to create a world-class research centre in the field of metabolomics in food and nutrition at the University of Ljubljana. Focused on developing new analytical methods and providing measurement services related to metabolomics, Foodomics will strengthen Slovenia’s innovation capacity and accelerate start-up creation.
Objective
The vision of the ERA Chair FOODOMICS is to create a research centre at the University of Ljubljana (UL) in the field of Metabolomics in Food and Nutrition. The project is set within the framework of the ERA Chair action to simultaneously realise the research potential of UL and to create a cutting-edge dynamic and sustainable research environment. With the support of a network of existing international/regional/national partners, SMEs, and stakeholders, research results will be fruitfully exploited whilst creating a springboard for UL to move from partial, small, and fragmented research to bigger innovation driven projects that can offer solutions for the needs of society. FOODOMICS is designed to mediate progress in science through development of new analytical methods and provision of measurement services applicable to plants, animals and humans. The activities will include both profiling (analyses of all measurable analytes to identify differences) and targeted analyses (quantification of chosen set of analytes). FOODOMICS comprises four work packages (WP) necessary for the required capacity building, with each addressing specific element needed to create a world-class metabolomics food and nutrition Centre of Excellence at UL. WP1 and WP2 are dedicated to three important issues: (i) management and coordination; (ii) constitution; and (iii) sustainability issues. WP3 is dedicated to fostering research and education. WP4 focusses on the transfer of knowledge and technologies. WP5 and WP6 will undertake comprehensive dissemination, communication and exploitation activities. An important outcome of this Project is that disparities in research and innovation performance between Slovenia and innovation leaders in EU will be significantly decreased. Far-reaching effects of FOODOMICS will be the creation of a world-class working environment and centre of excellence, as well as innovative start-up companies, all of which will strength the Slovenian and European economy.
