Editorial | The end of the year 2008 has been particularly rich for LABERCA, first as National Reference Laboratory for food control through several sensitive dossiers (melamine in food product imported from South-East of Asia or persistent contaminants in river fishes), then as research unit (more than 20 articles published and/or in press, first valorisations in the field of metabolomics), and finally in terms of European funding (projects DEER and UNIQUECHECK, FP7) or knowledge dissemination (one SARAF extra session for DG research). Enjoy your reading.Read more

Editorial | During its last direction council in January 2004, our laboratory highlighted a need for an improved internal and external communication, especially regarding its research activities. Therefore, the idea of a new document was proposed to present briefly some of the running research projects and main results, in addition to the existing activity reports and publications. So it is a real pleasure for me to open the first of these bi-annual newsletters. I thank its authors and designers, and I wish you a good and pleasant lecture. Read more
