WORK PACKAGE 2

WP2: Phenotyping for personalized medicine

The aim of WORK PACKAGE 2 is to identify biomarkers and genetic/epigenetic markers for treatment effect and severity of disease, as well as to characterize and stratify early disease.

The work package will have professional responsibility for biobanking in the clinical trial unit (CTU).
