  1. German Institute of Human Nutrition The Development of NuGO Guidelines on Bioethics in Human Nutrigenomics Research Manuela M Bergmann, Marek Bodzioch, Luisa Bonet, Catherine Defoort, Georg Lietz, John Mathers

  2. Nutrigenomics =Nutritional Genomics • A new scientific approach that • studies genome-wide influences of food or food compounds on health • studies the inter-play between changing nutritional environment of cells and the ‘static’ genome • implements high throughput tools in nutritional research

  3. NuGO–The European Nutrigenomics Organisation • is funded as a Network of Excellence by the European Commission within the Sixth Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development • Bioethics is one of the activities within the Work Package ‘Human Studies’ (WP 6) aiming at the standardisation of human nutrigenomics research across Europe

  4. Definition of the most important fields for nutrigenomic human studies June 2004 On-line inquiry of the NuGO scientists October 2004–January 2005 Draft of guidelines based on inquiry results and official documents Feb.–Apr. 2005 Workshop with experts in the field of law, bioethics, or research ethics May 2005 Revisions of the guidelines since June 2005 Development of an interactive bioethics guidelines on-line tool since Jan. 2006 Development of Bioethics Guidelines – Milestones Formation of the Bioethics working group February 2004

  5. Main Features of the Bioethics On-line Tool • Presentation of the guidelines and references to official European documents • Comprehensive search functions • Support through document templates for informed consent, research agreement etc., and courses on bioethics throughout Europe • Interaction with the user

  6. Perspective • Finalization of the guidelines September 2006 • NuGO launch of the tool September 2006 • Testing phase with short evaluation September–December 2006 • Revision and public launch early 2007

  7. Thanks to the experts for their co-operation!
