FORESFA - Forensic epidemiology and impact of substandard and falsified antimicrobials on public health
(WELLCOME FOUNDATION) General objectives of the project: to establish an innovative and multidisciplinary research group to develop analytical methods capable of identifying drugs subject to fraud (falsified and substandard (SF) medicines) with a particular focus on antimicrobials.
FEM activity: use of the analysis of stable isotope ratios as a potential method for determining drugs subject to fraud similar to what is already done in the agro-food sector.
