One Health: Food Chains

Environmental chemicals, including plant secondary metabolites, can alter microbial communities and thus have a central influence on the health of plants, animals and humans. Within an Interdisciplinary Research Cooperation (IRC) project, we investigate the impact of maize secondary metabolites on food chains, from soils to plant to ruminants and finally mice, as model organisms for human health.
