Current methods of producing animal protein are unsustainable for both the environment and the world’s growing population. An EU-supported research collaboration is exploring how to incorporate non-animal-based proteins into popular foods and make them a mainstream part of diets, while minimising noticeable changes to consumers’ diets.
More than 50 million people worldwide are affected by dementia – and the number is rising rapidly. But despite its widespread prevalence and impact, it remains difficult to diagnose in its early stages. Research work was targeted at changing this by combining AI, big data analysis and cutting-edge assay technologies to find biomarkers for dementia.
