Scientific Centre of Excellence for Personalized Health Care

Activities of Scientific Centre of Excellence for Personalized Health Care (SCEPersonHealth) are manly directed towards connecting and developing cooperation of scientific and educational institutions in order to integrate and encourage synergy, as well as promote international competitiveness in the field. Capacity of SCEPersonHealth covers innovative research in the health and pharmaceutical – biotechnological industry ranging from diagnosis and better understanding of the disease through personalization and medical treatment. There is also conduction of fundamental and clinical research in order to discover new insights into human genetics and molecular basis of the disease to provide greater precision in diagnosis and targeted drug development. SCEPersonHealth is consisted of two complementary units: 1) Glycemic Research and 2) Research, Production and Medical Functional Food Testing. The main research problem of the first unit is understanding of the role of glycans in the pathology of diseases associated with changes in glycosylation and development of high velocity glycemic and identification of prognostic markers. The second unit is developing new methods and devices for quantification of antioxidant capacities, that are going to be used in clinical studies of the functional food consumption that is going to be developed and produced within the activities of SCEPersonHealth. Main focus of Department of Chemistry as a part of a second unit of SCEPersonHealth, is development of new microsensor as a detector for monitoring and quantification of antioxidant properties of biological materials. The results, new knowledge, equipment and employment acquired as a part of the project directly contribute to the strengthening of the overall research community, new technologies and ensuring higher product quality in the production of functional food benefit food manufactures and processors through the production of high-quality functional food that will enable them to strengthen market position. And also there is impact on long term health improvement of general population.
