As an experienced coordinator will lead major aspects of coordination including research and data management.

Additionally, KU Leuven will lead work on internal exposome modelling and characterization. KU Leuven will generate new data for a better understanding of the biological mechanisms in relation to external exposome components and immune-mediated diseases.

KU Leuven D will lead work package 9: Exposure-reducing and health-promoting interventions in firefighters. Within this work package, we will collect data about the exposure of firefighters during warm training when different kinds of materials, such as wood, oil, plastic or gas, are set on fire and the impact of technical and behavioural interventions.

The Intego environmental team will try to study the links between environmental factors and immune diseases using a large set of data from GP’S in Belgium linked to those environmental factors.
