Scientific Projects

Scientific projects are a fundamental part of Flashtox’s activities, both at the European and international levels.

The constant innovation that characterizes the food sector and the toxicological field is an opportunity to create new projects based on the present and future needs of the industrial world, with constant attention to consumer health.
For this reason, Flashtox is constantly seeking new synergies to study emerging issues in the food and toxicological sectors, and to this end we rely on the constant contribution of the Scientific Committee, composed of members from the academic, industrial, and scientific worlds.

Alcuni dei nostri progetti scientifici

The impact of EDCs on breast cells and it’s ability to induce carcinogenesis

Project purpose:

evaluation of a set of molecules classifiable as endocrine disruptors in relation to their potential ability to alter the physiological mechanisms attributable to lung cells, also considering aspects of carcinogenesis.

In collaboration with:

University of Pisa, University of Bradford, Flashpoint Srl.

Food Additives and Flavourings: toxicity, levels of exposure and corresponding cardiotoxicity responses

Project purpose:

evaluation of the toxicity and exposure levels of additives and flavourings authorized at the European level, concerning the cardiotoxicity end-point.

In collaboration with:

University of Pisa

Flashpoint Srl.

Feminine Hygiene Products (FHPs): An experimental procedure for Risk Assessment of Combined Exposure

Project purpose:

evaluation of the combined exposure to chemicals present as contaminants within feminine hygiene products (pads, menstrual cups, tampons).

In collaboration with:

University of Pisa, University of Illinois, Flashpoint Srl.
Recognitions: selected at SOT2024
