SOPHIA Stratification of Obesity Phenotypes to Optimize Future Therapy
Coordinator: UNIVERSITY COLLEGE DUBLIN, NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF IRELAND, DUBLIN (IE)
SOPHIA will optimise the future treatment of obesity. The challenge is that clinicians, payers and patients view obesity as a failure of self-control, rather than a disease. We will change this perspective by defining subpopulations in terms of (a) the risks of complications linked to obesity, (b) response to various obesity treatments. The subpopulations will be characterised in terms of operational variables (phenotypic, genetic, behavioural, environmental, and omics). These predictive variables will facilitate diagnosis and underpin personalised and protocolised obesity care. Patient prior…
About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)
Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.
EU contribution: €8.3M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 5.7 years from 2020-06-01 to 2026-02-28.
