Abstract
The major aim of the project is to understand how food and diet can influence the processes of carcinogenesis by focussing on the precise changes in gene and protein expression and physiology that occur in humans following both short and long term dietary intervention, and thereby providing the link between epidemiological studies and research on animals and cell cultures. Animal and cell models are used as a means to test hypotheses, derived from human intervention studies, concerning potential mechanisms of the mode of action of dietary components and the consequences of changes in expression of specific genes and proteins.
