DOMINO: Advancing Food Microbiome Science Across Europe

Published: Nov 19, 2024 by FME Lab

The DOMINO project is at the forefront of connecting microbiome science, food systems, and health in Europe. Recent activities highlight how DOMINO is driving innovation and fostering collaboration:

Living Labs: At a Brussels event hosted by Ferments du Futur and partners, DOMINO showcased how Living Labs bring together researchers, producers, regulators, and consumers. These labs explore fermented foods like legumes in France and water kefir in Ireland, uncovering knowledge gaps and emphasizing the importance of consumer feedback in food innovation.

Stakeholder Forum: DOMINO launched its Stakeholder Forum with a webinar by Dr. Magali Cordaillat-Simmons, focusing on regulatory science for microbiomes. This platform ensures DOMINO’s research aligns with societal needs, promoting open dialogue on fermented foods and microbiome advances.

DOMINO is animating food microbiome science by combining interdisciplinary research, consumer engagement, and cross-sector collaboration, driving Europe toward healthier, more sustainable food systems.

6th scientific meeting of ANR metasimfood project in Strasbourg

On Tuesday 7th of January, the 7 partners gathered for the second time in Illkirch (close to Strasbourg) and were hosted by Aérial. The meeting was focused on the main advances carried out on the fermented vegetables food model with exiting results confirming the hypothesis postulated earlier in the project. Also, the evening before the meeting, Aérial organized a specific visit of the largest Sauerkraut producer in France, at a small village 30 km south of Strasbourg.

Ferments du Futur Innovation Center is open

At the recent opening of the Ferments du Futur Innovation Center (CI2F) in Paris-Saclay, Killian shared insights about how our new plateform PIAM (Print, Image, Analytics and Micro-fermenters) housed in MICALIS supports innovation in industrial fermentation, microbial consortia development, and health-related applications.
