(DEMO)COPHES team is interested in:
ENV Assessing individual exposure to emerging environmental stressors and predicting health outcomes
(DEMO)COPHES is the first step towards comparable and harmonized Human Biomonitoring in Europe
But there is a huge demand and potential for reliable exposure data (REACH!) for many other chemicals (CMR!)
The (DEMO)COPHES team has a broad expertise in present and ongoing projects: e.g. ESBIO, GerES, PHIME, OBELIX, INTARESE, Nanotest, FLEHS, RISKASSETS, NewGeneris, Childrengenonetwork, InTEGRISK
Requirements for additional partners:
Experience with linkage of exposure data to health data.
Access to existing data available in health registries
Experience with European Health Examination Survey.
Expertise with new predictive biomarkers based on epigenetics or other approaches.
