Strimhealth

STRENGTHENING TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH FOR IMPROVED METABOLIC HEALTH (STRIMHealth) project is funded by the European Union under the HORIZON-WIDERA-2023-ACCESS-02 call, grant agreement No. 101159400. Curbing obesity-related diseases is one of the key priorities of the Horizon Europe 2023-2024 work programme. As metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has become the most common liver disease worldwide, it's time to tackle this silent epidemic! By establishing the Metabolic Disease Research Unit and the Bioinformatics Hub at the Institute for Biological Research “Siniša Stanković” (IBISS) in partnership with Örebro University (ORU), Stichting Amsterdam UMC (AmsterdamUMC) and Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Lisbon (FFUL), we're building on the enormous potential of networking for excellence through knowledge transfer and the exchange of best practices. Together, we'll develop a joint research strategy that leverages multidisciplinary skills and complementary knowledge. By pooling our resources and expertise, we can better address MASLD and improve scientific understanding of metabolic diseases.
