Metadata portal for observational studies in Nutritional Epidemiology that participated in the INTIMIC project

Welcome to this website, an inventory of human observational studies with publicly accessible metadata in the area of nutrition and the gut microbiome.

This initiative is the result of the collaborative efforts of the Molecular Epidemiology Research Group (Pischon Lab) at the Max Delbrück Center and the support of partners that participated in the Knowledge Platform Intestinal Microbiomics (INTIMIC-KP).

To analyze data from multiple studies, we are using DataSHIELD, a solution that enables remote and non-disclosive analysis.

Currently, we are examining the association between obesity and gut microbiome from multiple European observational studies. Check out the comprehensive harmonization protocol.

Whether you have inspiration for a new project, want to apply for federated data access, wish to have your study included, or have any questions, we encourage you to reach out to us at epidemiologie@mdc-berlin.de.
