Together with @efsa.europa.eu and @ema.europa.eu, we'll develop new guidance on the use of biomarkers of effect in regulatory risk assessment.

It will offer a framework that helps applicants and risk assessors interpret safety data in the same way across different sectors. ℹ️ fcld.ly/openefsal 🧪

A social media graphic featuring a scientist in a laboratory setting. The scientist wears a white lab coat, white gloves, and a white respirator mask, and is shown holding up a test tube containing a light-colored substance for inspection. In the background, there is laboratory equipment, including a fume hood. The bottom left of the image contains bold blue text that reads "GLOBAL HEALTH" above a line of smaller black text that says "Commitments worth nearly €800 million." A blue graphic corner border frames the text. In the bottom right corner, the official logo of the European Commission is displayed.

We are committed to continued leadership in global health and strengthening the resilience of health systems worldwide.

At the One Health Summit in Lyon, we announced three new Team Europe global health commitments worth nearly €800 million ↓

Day 2 focused on turning science into concrete commitments.

A high‑level panel on food systems, nutrition & pollution, moderated by our Chief Scientist @cgdasneves.bsky.social, highlighted #OneHealth link b/t people, animals & environment.

Human health. Animal health. Environmental health. Inseparable. Together they form One Health.

Human health is connected to the health of animals, plants and the environment.
 When one is at risk, others are affected. That is why #OneHealth approach brings different sectors together - governments, scientists, health workers, & communities - to act on risks before they become crises.

One clear message: health risks do not occur in isolation — and neither should our responses.

#OneHealth means prevention over reaction, collaboration over fragmentation and systems thinking across human,
animal and environmental health.
