Hoodome workshop
The Digital Food Institute hosted the virtual kick-off workshop of the Hoodome project on 17th September 2020
The workshop was co-organised by the Digital Food Institute, the Institute of Nutrition, University of Debrecen and by
Barabási Lab, Northeastern University, Boston. The aim was to introduce the core concept of Foodome and to start building up a Hungarian Foodome project (hence the name Hoodome).
The Foodome platform aims to transform health science by enabling the systematic study of the full biochemical spectrum of diet and its implications for diseases, catalyzing dramatic leaps in scientific and health insights and opening up novel avenues by which to understand, avoid, and control diseases.
As a Hungarian counterpart, Hoodome aims to create the single largest database of the deep composition of Hungarian agri-food products. Once achieved, we will have access to the full chemical composition of the most important food items in Hungary allowing the research and start-up community to have access to a state-of-the-art database with potential to change the way we do nutritional research, healthcare and agriculture in the future.
