Fibrobesity – Preventing Fibrosis Related to Obesity
Fibrobesity links strongly with the strategy of the University of Oulu under a wider umbrella of FibroHealth – Combatting Fibrosis in Chronic Diseases. Research on FibroHealth generally addresses fibrosis as a risk factor in the etiology of complex chronic diseases and unhealthy aging.
The world-class research at the University of Oulu on hypoxia and extracellular matrix (ECM) together with cutting-edge research on obesity, cardiovascular risk factors, metabolic syndrome, polycystic ovary syndrome, and other fibrosis-related diseases, combined with our unique population and patient cohort studies and state-of-the-art research infrastructure, form the basis of Fibrobesity.
