The University of Manchester, one of the UK’s leading research institutions, is at the forefront of scientific innovation and health initiatives. UNIMAN team has previously worked on projects involving the measurement of biomarker series and lifestyle interventions in cancer research, with strong strength in predicting genetic predisposition, biological aging and actionable lifestyle modifications to drive measurable health improvements. Over 70% of participants were positively influenced to adopt healthier lifestyles.
Building on this experience, we’re part of an exciting EU-wide project, COMFORTage, focused on early dementia detection and prevention. We combine data from omics profiling, lifestyle questionnaires, and wearables like “Fitbit” to give people personalized feedback and intervention strategies. By identifying proximal markers of current risk, we aim to help people reduce their dementia risk before symptoms arise.
