Background: The European Institute for innovation and technology (EIT) aims to bridge the gap between innovation and commercialisation. It does so by connecting the three pillars of the knowledge triangle (innovation, business creation and education) through the establishment of Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs). Currently, there are 9 different KICs, each forming a network of companies, universities, research centres and other organizations. These communities regularly launch calls for proposals to identify high-potential companies. EIT Health is one of these KICs .

Methylomic – Hope & Improved outcomes for Crohn’s disease patients across Europe

The METHYLOMIC project, ‘targeting hope for personalised medicine in immune-mediated inflammatory diseases’ obtained funding from Horizon Europe’s Health Cluster. The project aims to personalise treatment allocation and enhance the effectiveness of medications for chronic immune-mediated diseases such as Crohn’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis. BIRD, the Belgian inflammatory bowel disease research and development group, is a partner in the project and is involved in the OmiCrohn trial, a prospective randomised clinical trial for individualised therapy in Crohn’s disease patients. With BIRD’s active role in this trial, the project is set to deliver predictive, biomarker-based therapies that bring renewed hope for Crohn’s disease patients across Europe.
