Objectives
EUmetriosis is a research project focused on improving the lives of people affected by endometriosis in Europe and beyond. Our goal is to better understand the condition, find new ways to manage it, and make sure that people with lived experience are at the heart of everything we do.
In the next five years we aim to:
Ensure patient and public involvement
We’re setting up groups of patients and members of the public to help guide our work.
Understand the challenges of people with endometriosis
Through interviews, diaries, and focus groups, we’ll explore how people cope and what changes could help.
Food and nutrition research
We’re researching how diet and lifestyle might help reduce pain, improve wellbeing, and support fertility treatments.
Epigenetics and microbiome research
Develop research in DNA and gut bacteria to see if these can help explain how endometriosis affects the body and why people experience it differently.
Find new ways to diagnose
We’re also working to find less invasive and more accurate ways to diagnose endometriosis, using new technology and big data analysis.
Develop better data models
By collecting and analysing lots of health information, we aim to build models that can help predict how someone might respond to different self-care strategies.
Disseminate and communicate the results
We’re committed to making our findings easy to access and understand. We’ll share updates through our website, social media, webinars, and events. We’ll also work closely with the scientific community to make sure our research reaches the people who can make a difference.
