Taiwan Partnering Award: Artificial intelligence applications to identify regulatory genomic signatures of diet and lifestyle disease risk factors

Lead Research Organisation: King's College London
Department Name: Genetics and Molecular Medicine

Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
 
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.
Sectors Agriculture, Food and Drink,Healthcare
