Performance of a national proficiency test for the determination of nematodes in fish (Project)

The national proficiency test will be carried out for the 9th time in 2024. The performance of proficiency tests is one of the tasks of a national reference laboratory. The results give rise to scientific questions as well as valuable insights for the work of the institute and for its advisory activities as National Reference Laboratory Anisakis.

Studies on the functional effect of mixtures on processes of potentially dominant molecular and cellular antigen recognition and immunotoxicity (Project)

Objectives: Consumer products consist of chemicals of different origin and composition. In the present project, existing and new (immune) assays will be used to compare immunotoxicological single substance effects of an isothiazolinone preservative (such as BIT or OIT; all potential allergens) with known MIXTURES of isothiazolinones (e.g. MI plus BIT or OIT) with regard to their molecular...

Survival strategies of Campylobacter spp. on chicken meat - identification of VBNC induction conditions and evaluation of countermeasures. (Project)

The project is intended to provide important findings on VBNC-Campylobacter that can be used directly by the interdepartmental working group on "Cost-Benefit Analysis of Microbiological, Chemical and Nutritional Risks in the Food Sector", which is part of the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL). This interdisciplinary working group is composed of scientists from the MRI, Thünen...

Method development for the authenticity control of sugar syrup in honey using mass spectrometry-based analysis (Project)

The first subproject HoZuMas01 involves the establishment of a method based on the publication of Du et al., 2015 (DOI: 10.1021/acs.jafc.5b01410) and the groundwork of the Joint Research Centre of the EU (JRC technical report „EU Coordinated action to deter certain fraudulent practices in the honey sector“, DOI:10.2760/184511). The project will be carried out as part of a master´s thesis in...

An in silico/in vitro hybrid method using inducible Estrogen/Androgen receptors (ER-α/AR-β) to screen EDCs from tattoo inks/PMU (Project)

Obj. 1 QSAR toolbox pre-screening of potential pleiotropic classification of tattoo colorants into EDCs category. As a first step, we will categorize tattoo pigments/PMU into EDCs catgory based on their binding ability with different hormone receptor. Obj. 2 In chemico experimental binding using Microscale Thermophoresis (MST) to measure binding affinities of colorants flagged in QSAR as EDCs. As...

Validation of the usability of zooplankton as a temporal integrator of pesticide contamination in small water bodies (Project)

In the project, 30 small standing waters in Germany (Brandenburg) and 30 small standing waters in Spain (Catalonia) are being investigated with regard to the concentrations of pesticides in surface water and zooplankton. We assume that the analysis of pesticides in zooplankton will provide information on long-term pesticide exposure, as the organism can accumulate the active substances over time....

Circular nutrients for a sustainable Baltic Sea Region (Project)

CiNURGi’s main objective is to encourage the creation and development of a circular economy for nutrient recycling (NR) in the Baltic Sea Region (BSR), with emphasis on enhancing current infrastructures and technologies to maximize NR from biomasses and resource streams coming from agriculture, municipalities, and industry. The development of a circular economy around NR in the BSR will decrease...

Identification of future breeding potential for more climate protection in plant production - assessment of the contribution of breeding progress to reducing the CO2 footprint (Project)

Based on extensive variety trial data, the contribution of breeding progress to climate protection for the most relevant crops in Germany is evaluated using life cycle analysis (LCA) and statistical methods. Relevant plant characteristics for climate protection are identified and future breeding potential for more climate protection in plant production is shown. The project builds on the...
