Preventomics
Preventomics is research & development project funded by the European Commission's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme. The project builds a new paradigm in preventive personalised nutrition based on the potential of omics and behavioural flexibility.
Empowering consumers to prevent diet-related diseases through omic sciences
Preventomics will create a new integration of genetic, nutritional and psychological factors thanks to the application of state-of-the-art metabolomics technologies and computational modelling to assess the real incidence of disease-inducing factors on the organism.
The main outcome from Preventomics is a novel mFood Platform, a unique-in-its-kind service, interoperable with current existing Apps for monitoring health status and with personalised nutrition software, thus opening the door to the personalisation of any type of health treatment where combinations of genetic, biological, nutritional and psychological factors are important.
Preventomics will be validated in three different case scenarios, performing relevant interventional studies with healthy and obese volunteers, to demonstrate its potential for personalisation of nutrition at the three levels of the food value chain (processing and distribution, marketing and consuming closest to the end- users).
