FORESFA - Investigating the Origin of Sub-standard and Falsified Medicines
The FORESFA project is a Wellcome Trust Collaborative Award focusing on the global issue of sub-standard and falsified pharmaceuticals. We take a multi-disciplinary approach to investigate product origins and their impact on population health. Our group at the University of Edinburgh is leading on the application of eDNA to examine the pharmabiome of falsified tablets, with the aim of generating data that allow seizures of illegal product to be linked and ultimately mapped back to source.
