Listen to this siteSince the introduction of GM foods and the technologies used to produce them, there has been a need for research into methods for detecting GMOs and GM foods, as well as methods to assess their safety.
The projects funded in this area of research are designed to answer one or more of these requirements.
This research project aims to find up-to-date information on the analytical techniques used to investigate and ensure the food safety of GM foods and products by the biotechnology and novel foods industry.
Results available.
This research project aims to develop technology to form the basis for an analytical service, which could be employed routinely to assess any new transgenic crop.
Results available.
This research project aims to further scientific understanding and improve techniques of gene insertion.
Results available.
This research project aims to further the scientific understanding of the effects of insertion of large amounts of DNA into plants.
Results available.
This research project aims to evaluate the potential of proteomic and metabolomic profiling for incorporation into safety assessment procedures for novel foods.
This research project aims to develop a new method for the detection of GM proteins in food products.
Results available.
This research project aims to develop a new method to detect and quantify specific DNA sequences without PCR amplification.
