HEDIMED

Human exposomic determinants of immune mediated diseases

The HEDIMED project aims to identify the exposomic determinants that are driving the rapid increase of immune-mediated diseases (IMDs) such as type 1 diabetes, celiac disease, allergies and asthma. The project uses data and samples from unique large clinical cohorts and trials from countries with both high and low IMD incidence.

Key publications
