Listen to this siteDetails of Agency-funded projects under the Diet and Colonic Health research programme (N12).
This research project aims to find out whether a group of markers of DNA damage relevant to cancer would be useful in investigating the relationship between diet and the risk of cancer.
Results available.
This research project aims to investigate the relationship between folate status and colorectal cancer.
This research project aims to provide a rapid diagnostic test for effective monitoring of folate bioavailability.
Results available.
These research projects aim to identify biological changes marking the earliest stages of colorectal cancer and design ways to measure these changes and study their modification by diet.
Results available.
These research projects aim to contribute a sound scientific basis for folate and riboflavin recommendations to the public to reduce colorectal cancer risk.
This research project aims to identify biomarkers of folate deficiency and assess the effect of dietary folate supplementation on these.
These research projects aim to identify biomarkers of colorectal cancer.
Results available.
This research project aims to identify mutagenic agents that can cause colorectal cancer and lead to a better understanding of dietary factors that determine susceptibility.
These research projects aim to identify biological changes marking the earliest stages of colorectal cancer and design ways to measure these changes and study their modification by diet.
Results available.
This research project aims to confirm whether fish consumption confers protection against disease of the colon and whether this protective effect is limited to oily fish.
This research project aims to assess the impact of fish consumption on bowel health and to develop novel biomarkers of risk, which are amenable to dietary intervention.
This research project aims to identify diet related preclinical biomarkers of bowel cancer using state of the art technology including proteomics.
This research project will test the hypothesis that systemic inflammation (associated with high body-weight and adiposity) is causally linked with low-grade bowel mucosal inflammation, and that this condition is associated with higher risk of bowel cancer.
Results available.
This research project aims to identify novel biomarkers of preclinical carcinogenesis and investigate the extent to which these biomarkers are responsive to dietary intervention.
