🇫🇷 Recognizing the importance of #diversity as a core principle of the life science research is in the DNA of Horiana. 📢 Today, Horiana is proudly supporting InnovHer , the largest European #hackathon dedicated to #women’s health ! 🚩 Due to significant underinvestment over the past 30 years and a predominantly man-oriented development perspective, promoting and recognizing women’s health as a major challenge in the coming years is crucial. ✅ Organized by Stetoo, this event will bring together project holders and more than 300 professionals and attendees with various expertise to to turn innovative ideas into reality. The focus will be on diagnosis and patient pathways to drive the development of new solutions. 🚀 As part of our support, Horiana will provide complimentary consulting with our internal experts to build an evidence generation plan based on #clinical or real-world studies, aiming to foster the awarded project. Louise will also join the hackathon and will be able to discuss about your potential ideas. 👉 If you want to know more about it and if you want to join the event, please get in touch with Mario Chalhoub or Mériadec Gaignard or visit https://innovher.fr/ 📌Paris 📅 November 15 - 17, 2024 #femtech #innovation #diversity Celine Fabre Sophie Larrieu Sebastien Stéphane OUARY Elsa Duteil Sandrine Bourguignon Karine Levesque Iris Maréchal Chloé Geoffroy Séverine Jonas Lescuras 🌸Marie Gombert-Labedens Atlal 🐣 B.

Advancing personalized health and precision medicine through sustainable solutions and innovative endeavors in the fields of IT and biomedical, data-driven research at the interface with a future-oriented healthcare system The two sister initiatives Swiss Personalized Health Network (SPHN) and PHRT - Personalized Health and Related Technologies have been working together for many years to advance personalized health and precision medicine research in Switzerland. While SPHN is responsible for research infrastructure development, the ETH Domain has ensured with its PHRT strategic focus area that research projects drive infrastructure development forward (in the right direction!) and that important innovations and approaches can also be realized outside the SPHN focus. At our joint "Data for Health" symposium on 31 October 2024, we would like to highlight the goals that have been achieved, discuss their impact on the research and healthcare system together with all those involved and draw attention on remaining challenges and what this country needs for future-oriented healthcare as well as to further strengthen Switzerland as a research location of great excellence.

We are thrilled with our ongoing clinical and research cooperation with #SANO and are pleased to share the latest results from a study aiming to identify prognostic variables associated with favorable responses to multidisciplinary rehabilitation in patients with chronic low back pain. This project stems from an established research collaboration between #AarhusUniversity, #Sano, and #RheumAarhus. The study was a responder analysis among 139 patients based on data from a randomized controlled trial comparing the effectiveness of different multidisciplinary rehabilitation programs for chronic low back pain. 42% of patients were classified as responders after a 26-week follow-up. The study found that females and those who are self-supporting or on retirement benefits were statistically significant prognostic variables for a clinically meaningful outcome of multidisciplinary rehabilitation. These findings will help tailor rehabilitation approaches to individual patients, potentially improving outcomes for those suffering from chronic low back pain.

👨🔬 Sample collection is crucial in Human Biomonitoring Studies. During the second quarter (Q2) of 2024, the following #PARC_EU partners have started sample collection and interviews of the participants for the EU-wide human biomonitoring (#HBM) survey: NCPHP (Nemzeti Népegészségügyi és Gyógyszerészeti Központ); Hungary (study acronym: HBM-HU I): children (6-11 years), adults (18-39 years). EAA (Umweltbundesamt - Environment Agency Austria); Austria (study acronym: PARC–CSA): children (6-11 years). UBA, Germany (study acronym: GerES VI: adults (18-39 years). “At the German Environment Agency (UBA), we are currently sampling and interviewing for GerES VI, which comprises our contribution of adults for the PARC Aligned Studies,” explains Aline Murawski, deputy study lead of GerES VI at UBA. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting project!   ℹ️ More info 👉 https://shorturl.at/oIMsA #HumanBiomonitoring #EnvironmentalHealth #ChildHealth #PARC_EU #PARCStudies #HealthResearch #CommunityEngagement#NCPHP, #EAA, #UBA, #HBM #HBM4EU #human health #biomonitoring

Food & Mood Centre researchers have received funding totalling close to $1 million through the 2023 Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) Post-Acute Sequalae of COVID-19 (PASC) grant. Prof Felice Jacka OAM and Dr Amelia McGuinness are leading the project ‘Gut Therapy to Improve Long COVID Outcomes and Wellbeing – The GLOW Trial’, which aims to investigate the role of the gut in promoting the condition known as Long COVID. Long COVID has been found to affect a wide range of physical and mental health symptoms such as fatigue, depression, sleep quality and overall quality of life, as well as the ability to function in daily life. The GLOW trial aims to investigate the role of the gut and its microbes in Long COVID, and to evaluate faecal microbial transplant (FMT)—the process of transferring gut microbiota from a healthy donor to a patient—as a potential treatment option for those living with Long COVID. The research team will analyse stool and blood samples from participants to better understand the gut microbiome’s role in the condition and assess FMT as a viable and acceptable treatment strategy. Organisations that have partnered with the GLOW trial include the Geelong Long COVID Clinic, Emerge Australia Inc, the Australian Red Cross Lifeblood and Microba Life Sciences.
