Mycotoxins Mediterranean Training Hub

FunShield4Med consortium have worked towards the development of a Mycotoxins Mediterranean Training Hub (MyMedHub), having as standard the  Cranfield University “Magan Centre of Applied Mycology” (MCAM) and the University of Lleida “Applied Mycology Unit” (AMu). MyMedHub will provide foresight on future mycotoxicological related problems originating from Climate Change, providing services for AgriFood stakeholders in the Mediterranean region.

As a mycology & computational toxicology center, will offer educational and training activities for professionals and researchers, including early stage ones. In this context, MyMedHub will aim at compiling computational tools to support integrative approaches to toxicological research and chemical safety assessments via predictive modelling and analyses of complex and multifaceted data sets. Advanced researchers from UdL, CU, UNIPR, NKUA and ELGO-ITAP will develop problem-based learning activities, including among others multi-criteria decision analysis to balance microbial risks and environmental impacts, and specific management tools for combating emerging mycotoxin issues on a number of different Mediterranean products.
