EDC-MASLD Project
EDC-MASLD is an EU-funded project that focuses on investigating the impact of environmental exposure to Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) on the internal exposome (metabolome, gut microbiome, epigenome, proteome, immunome) and degree of liver damage in Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD)

The project

EDC-MASLD is an EU-funded project focused on exploring the role of Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) in the progression of Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD). With MASLD affecting 25% of the general population, it’s crucial to understand all contributing factors for effective prevention and intervention.

Consortium

The EDC-MASLD consortium compirses 14 Partners from 9 countries that have diverse and complementary expertise in the domains of hepatology, endocrinology, toxicology, exposome research, metabolomics, systems biology, environmental economics, and communications & technology research, with respective PIs being global leaders in their fields.
