Metapredict is an exciting new project sponsored by the EU FP7 programme, bringing together expertise in academic scientific research, cutting edge technologies and international collaboration. The main aims are to:

  • Identify molecular predictors for response to exercise training, so that individualised life style strategies can be developed to better combat metabolic diseases such as obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
  • Develop a greater understanding of the biological networks which connect lifestyle and disease risk.
  • Drive the development of personalised healthcare and thus improve the health of our citizens.
