Second training school on dynamic in vitro models of the human GIT

This second training school, jointly organized by MEDIS (Université Clermont Auvergne, France) and CMET (Ghent University, Belgium), aims to train about complex dynamic in vitro gut models, with a particular focus on systems integrating oral and small intestine microbiota, high-throughput models and diseased-related conditions. This training school is directly linked to the goal of WG2 “extension to other gastrointestinal compartments” and WG3 “extension to diseases conditions”. Training will be performed on a large range on in vitro models including TIM, ARCOL, ARILE, ESIN, SHIME, mini-bioreactors and anaerobiosis methods.

COST Action CA23110

Scientific literature is shedding light on the centrality of GI for human health and wellbeing. Indeed, the physiologic effects of nutrients, bioactives and even toxic compounds (including foodborne pathogens) are mediated by their absorption rate in the intestine and by their interaction with gut microbiota and its host ecosystem. Testing food, feed, supplements or drugs in clinical studies gives rise to ethical issues, and the transferability of animal data across species is often problematic because of differences in physiology, metabolism and chemical susceptibilities.
