Summary
This project is part of the Sino-Dutch Centre for Preventive and Personalized Medicine (SD PPM). SD PPM's objective is to improve current diagnostics to enable prevention-based approaches and to segregate patient populations (sub-typing) addressing the current responder/non-responder issues in Western medicine. The diagnostic discovery strategies are based on disease phenotyping using metabolomics-based systems biology and ultra-weak photon emission.
From a health care perspective the main objective is to improve health care in terms of quality of life and at the same time to reduce costs. This objective is addressing two important chronic diseases type 2 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis and is translated into the general objective to scientifically validate in 5 years sub-typing of these diseases via new diagnostically available biochemical patterns.
