The MIREYA project aims to advance research and further understanding of the impact and causal pathway of multiple environmental exposures on the development of rare cancers (i.e., embryonal tumours, central nervous system and colorectal cancers) in children, adolescents, and young adults (AYA). MIREYA will leverage a great amount of epidemiology datasets from population-based cancer registries from 9 European countries, allowing to identify personalised biological fingerprints of the environmental exposures and define their impact at biological level. Using multilayered research approaches based on reuse, integration and innovative AI-causal-driven analysis of multisource and multidisciplinary data (e.g. biological, environmental, social and economic) we will disentangle the combined role of host features and environmental exposures on development and outcomes of cancer in children and AYAs at different stages of life.

VUB-HALL leads WP9 “Legal and Ethical Framework”, supporting consortium partners with legal and ethical compliance procedures in MIREYA.
