From MASTIHA to MAST4HEALTH: Report from the Secondment Experience

This report contains the principal lines of the H2020 Mastiha treatment for healthy obese with NAFLD diagnosis (MAST4HEALTH) project. In fact, MAST4HEALTH project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under the Marie Sk?odowska-Curie grant agreement No. 691042. One of main activities has been a multicenter clinical trial. Another important activity has been the exchange program of personnel between CNR and industrial partners (i.e., Chios Gum Mastic Growers Association, Biotech Vana, Perspectum, Randox). The Chios history starting from the old traces of MASTIHA producers together with the beautiful island landscapes gave the idea of writing a reportage. Furthermore, the staff of CNR-Clinical Physiology Institute planned a Secondment Day at the end of the project to discuss about the experience, the opportunities and the perspectives. The Covid-19 pandemia impeded the meeting. For this reason, the presentations of the secondees have been included in this document as appendix, together with their scientific reports.
