Precision Toxicology consortium to protect human health from effects of harmful chemicals

E-Mail A major research project to shape regulation and policy on chemical safety without the use of animal testing has been launched with the aid of €19.3M funding from the European Commission. Led by the University of Birmingham and involving 15 European and US organisations, PrecisionTox aims to protect human health from the toxic effects of chemicals found in people s homes, food and the environment. The consortium will use genetics, genomics, metabolomics and the study of evolution to investigate the toxicity of hundreds of chemicals and explore how they disrupt the biological processes that are fundamental to health. Combined with law, these approaches will open up a new field of precision toxicology that will transform approaches to chemical safety management in the same way that precision medicine is informing healthcare. In particular, it is expected that precision toxicology will be instrumental in shaping policy and regulation of this field.

Most distant quasar with powerful radio jets discovered

E-Mail IMAGE: This artist s impression shows how the distant quasar P172+18 and its radio jets may have looked. To date (early 2021), this is the most distant quasar with radio jets ever. view more Credit: ESO/M. Kornmesser With the help of the European Southern Observatory s Very Large Telescope (ESO s VLT), astronomers have discovered and studied in detail the most distant source of radio emission known to date. The source is a radio-loud quasar a bright object with powerful jets emitting at radio wavelengths that is so far away its light has taken 13 billion years to reach us. The discovery could provide important clues to help astronomers understand the early Universe.
