Read about the collaboration in the MOMENTUM consortium on microplastics and human health, their scientific symposium and stakeholders meeting.
Tiny plastic particles may have subtle effects on the placenta, according to results published by researcher Hanna Dusza and her team in the leading journal Environmental Health Perspectives. They call for additional studies to gain a better understanding of the effect of micro- and nanoplastics on the health of the mother and the developing child.
The Ministry of I&W is contributing financially to the recently started research programme Microplastics & Health. This programme was initiated by ZonMw, The Netherlands Organisation for Health Research and Development in collaboration with the Topsector Water, Topsector Life Sciences & Health and the Gieskes-Strijbis Foundation. In this programme the best research projects investigating possible…
See how MOMENTUM 2.0 and seven additional projects are studying the effects of microplastics and nanoplastics on our health.- Resistance to antibiotics is increasing worldwide and alternatives are sought for antimicrobial treatment. AimThe overall purpose was to explore and identify antibiotics and non-antibiotics more active in combination than alone (called synergism) against multi- drug resistant bacteria. The tasks of the EMC involved the overall coordination of the project, identification of synergistic combinations…

This publication provides a recap of the online symposium ‘Microplastics and human health research in The Netherlands’ that was held on 4 November 2021. About one hundred researchers and policymakers exchanged knowledge about the latest research results from fifteen breakthrough projects within the ZonMw research programme ‘Microplastics and Health’. Attention was also paid to MOMENTUM…
- Bacteriophages and plasmids are often specific to a particular source, this project will investigate how CRISPR dynamics are related to environmental niche adaptation and recalibrate source attribution models.
The gut microbiome is the unique collection of micro-organisms in each individual’s intestines. It has an important role in the digestion of our food, whilst its composition also influences metabolic processes throughout the body and hence the development and progression of chronic diseases. The underlying mechanisms and the exact role that diet plays in them are still unclear, which is why the…
ZonMw aims to identify the knowledge gaps around microplastics and health, as input for a knowledge agenda for future research. To gain all the needs and opinions, we need your help. Will you fill in the internet consultation?
Two Dutch research groups and industry will jointly develop animal-free innovations via the ZonMw call Create2Solve. Over the next five years, the projects will focus on a 3D model of human brain cells and a better test method for potentially toxic substances. The projects will contribute to limiting the use of laboratory animals in both industry and science.
The first phase of the programme Create2Solve can start with the three proposals that ZonMw selected to develop animal-free innovations for industry and research. The research groups will develop proof-of-concept projects for two Challenges, formulated by companies in the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries. The project groups will receive a maximum of 7 months to realise their project…
On Monday 11 January 2021, the knowledge agenda Microplastics and Health was presented to the State Secretary for Infrastructure and Water Management, Stientje van Veldhoven. This knowledge agenda describes the most important knowledge gaps and calls for more research. ZonMw, together with other research funding bodies, has made an important first step in the right direction for further solution…
