Development of Methods to Predict the Allergenic Potential of Genetically Modified Foods

Objective

This research project aims to develop a method to predict if genetically modified foods, and new protein products, could cause food allergy.

More information

Some people worry that particular GM and novel foods could cause an allergic reaction when they are eaten. This project looked for a method to predict whether this would happen.
