EDUC-SHARE-Training Workshop. Advancing healthcare using the Research Infrastructure CeSAR of UNICA: Nutrition during the first two years of life.
Within the EDUC-SHARE project, WP2 "Research Infrastructures" - Task 2.3 "Unlocking the collaborative potential of EDUC research infrastructures", the University of Cagliari is organizing the training workshop "Advancing healthcare using the Research Infrastructure CeSAR of UniCa: Nutrition during the first two years of life" in the framework of the research topic "Lifelong health and well-being".
The training workshop lasts two days and will be held in Cagliari, on 23-24 November 2023.
Date: 23-24 November 2023
Main venue: University of Cagliari, Classroom 204, Block F, Cittadella di Monserrato
Google Direction: Str. interna Policlinico Universitario, 09042 Monserrato CA
Objectives of the workshop
Human breast milk is a complex biofluid containing many components, including macronutrients, hormones, and bioactive molecules, each potentially responsible for neonatal outcome, growth, and health. In addition, human breast milk is an important source of commensal bacteria for newborns and represents a dynamic ecosystem for multiple hubs that change during lactation and may influence development and future disease onset. The composition of human breast milk may therefore have important consequences for the short and long-term development of the newborn.
The University of Cagliari has human resources and analytical tools such as NMR, GC/MS, LC/MS, and Ion Mobility MS.
During the training workshop, CeSAR staff will present the analytical tools available at UniCA and their potential to perform metabolomic and microbiomic milk analyses and interpret the results. The Life Sciences Core Facilities at Masaryk University will be also presented.
Who can apply?
The call is open to researchers, professors, Post-Docs, and Ph.D. candidates of the EDUC Alliance universities.
The training workshop is free of charge. No travel and accommodation costs are provided.
Keywords: nutrition, health, milk, metabolomics, microbiome, lipidomic, NMR facility.
The project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under Grant Agreement N°101017526
