- 2 min read
Within the context of current biomedical and agronomic research, the EPIGEN-METCAN project was launched with the aim of developing fruit enriched with chemopreventive compounds using the innovative EPIGEN HEALTHY BITE technology. Through comprehensive metabolomic analysis and functional research, this project evaluates the antitumor potential of these crops against colorectal cancer, bridging the gap between biotechnology transfer and human health. Below are the official details regarding the funding and the scientific publication associated with the study results:
