PHAR-TOX is committed to fostering connections and synergy among various disciplines to generate new scientific knowledge and contribute to a sustainable health that benefit society. PHAR-TOX places a special emphasis on biomedical research, leveraging its distinctive strengths, while maintaining a robust connection to real-world applications in both society and clinical practice.

Strategy

The primary goal of PHAR-TOX is to investigate how adverse life styles, such as smoking and poor nutrition, as well as environmental factors like air pollution and microplastics, intersect with our metabolic and genetic makeup. Our main strategy is on identifying individuals at increased risk for disease, hospitalization, and disease progression at an early stage. Additionally, we are dedicated to formulating effective approaches to alter the course of chronic diseases and promote enduring health.
