Marker Initiative in Nutrition Research

9

ILSI Europe and MARKERS, a long history...

Certainly the perfect platform for such an initiative

10

Objectives

To identify…

• … consensus criteria for validation of markers in nutrition research

• … consensus markers to use in different fields of nutrition research

Marker Initiative

in Nutrition Research

Defining criteria will help to provide guidance for the

development of future markers in nutrition research

Looking for criteria at large (if possible),

but also for specific fields
