Description | The UK-Taiwan award analyses a subset of the data generated in the DIMENSION project. The key findings to date contributed to a publication on epigenetic signatures of caffeine intakes (Karabegovic et al. 2021). On-going work includes epigenetic exploration of B-vitamins intake and dynamic diet-epigenetic links related to the postprandial response. |
Exploitation Route | Basis of diet biomarkers, as well as basis for validation and replication studies, and for future experimental work on the molecular signatures of nutrition. |
