The €4.2 million European Marie Curie Initial Training Network, entitled ‘A new paradigm in drug use and human health risk assessment: Sewage profiling at the community level’, aims to advance knowledge of the epidemiology of (illicit) drug use and to bridge gaps in the available expertise with the ultimate goal of applying this cutting edge interdisciplinary approach combining expertise in analytical and environmental sciences, mathematical modeling, pharmacology, toxicology, clinical studies, social and health sciences and water engineering within epidemiological studies of societal health.

Dr Kasprzyk-Hordern, the coordinator of the network, comments, “We are delighted to have established this major international network within Europe, in which we will train a new generation of researchers working in these societally-critical areas. In establishing monitoring methods based on the epidemiology of sewage, we aim to gain a headstart in diagnosing and hence treating major public health issues, including disease outbreaks and our network will make a major contribution in this area.”

The network will link 16 leading European institutions, with partners in a range of countries including Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain and Switzerland, as well as the UK. A total of 11 Early Career Researchers and 4 Experienced Researchers will be recruited and trained in the network. The team from the Universitat Jaume I participating in this network includes Félix Hernández (responsible researcher at UJI), Juan Vicente Sancho, Lubertus Bijlsma and Maria Ibáñez from the Research Institute for Pesticides and Water. The UJI team will develop high resolution accurate mass analytical methods to detect the occurrence of existing and new psychoactive substances in sewage water and will also compare the efficiency of different ionization techniques used in various types of high-resolution mass spectrometers. The generated data will serve for epidemiological purposes such as estimating drug use in communities.

The network started in October 2012 and had its first training meeting hosted by the University of Bath in April 2013.  ‘This is a unique opportunity to make a consolidated effort that will bring maturity to the field of exploiting sewage analysis for the diagnosis of population’s drug use’, said professor Félix Hernández, SEWPROF’s training leader.
