The challenge is to understand causal factors in the development and consequences of ectopic fat accumulation, identifying novel targets and precision medicine strategies in disease prevention and treatment with a human-centric point of departure.
Through basic and applied research the programme should have a special focus on disruptive and innovative approaches to tackle the challenge and should include novel state-of-the-art technologies such as large-scale omics and imaging techniques (e.g., CT and MRI) allowing for non-invasive quantification. We encourage applicants to focus on data representing diversity both in relation to gender, ethnicity, and associated conditions.
