Metabonomics for MolPAGE Discovering Diabetes Biomarkers

Introduction

MolPAGE (Molecular Phenotyping to Accelerate Genomic Epidemiology) is an EU consortium with almost twenty collaborating universities and companies throughout Europe. One of the aims of MolPAGE is to find early onset biomarkersfor type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and cardio-vascular diseases(CVD). Novo Nordisk in Denmark and Imperial College in London are the two partners cooperating closely within the area of metabonomics. Novo Nordisk commitment in MolPAGE also covers transcriptomics.
