Personalised medicine is an important priority area for the Nordic co-operation in medical research. Nordic universities have now joined forces to set up a massive open online course (MOOC) targeting personalised medicine where medical experts from the Nordic countries have contributed.
Five proposals for activities aiming to promote Nordic clinical research cooperation related to international activities have been granted support from the Nordic Trial Alliance at NordForsk.
The Nordic and Japanese populations are getting older and challenging the health care systems. How do we ensure a healthy ageing for the individual? Researchers from the Nordic countries in collaboration with Japan will investigate this in three new research projects
The success of this project may enable the development of actionable, personalised interventional strategies to slow down ageing and prevent/delay age-predisposed diseases.
This project will identify people at-risk of dementia who may benefit from preventive interventions and investigate biological mechanisms for the development and prevention of dementia including between country comparisons of the Nordics and Japan.
This project envisions the development of refined diagnostic approaches that identify Osteoarthritis subtypes and indicators of its progression, at earlier stages of the disease.
NordForsk is issuing a call for proposals on Japan–Nordic collaborations on health data research. The call has a total budget of approximately NOK 25 million, and the deadline for the call for proposals is 7 October 2021.
The Nordic countries combined have allocated more than NOK 3 billion for COVID-19 research. The bulk of funding has targeted medical research, and Sweden is by far the largest funder.
