Advanced Practices
We have expanded on our Integrated Practices because we are making foods and food supplements about which we would like to make a health-claim. We investigated how we would collect data to show if our products reduce cancer incidence in humans. We consulted experts in the Medical and Nutrition Faculty who have expertise in designing intervention/feeding studies.
Having learned about what can be tested and measured and what de-regulation is needed for testing, we designed a theoretical feeding trial that they evaluated for us. Should we develop a product that performs in animal trials we could now progress to deregulation and funding for human trials. There are many projects aiming for healthier foods but few that consider how to prove this experimentally.
We believe this study is novel and worth highlighting to the iGEM community.
