Treatment of obesitySoranus - 2nd century – Alexandria and Rome
elixirs of laxatives and purgatives, heat, massage, and exercise.
Current strategies to treat obesityLifestyle changes in dietPhysical activityGastrointestinal surgeryPharmacological intervention
Suppression of the appetite Increase of the body's metabolism Interference with the body's ability to absorb
specific nutrients in food.

Our goals are:Using „systems biology” approach we intend to identify new molecular targets
and biomarkers by mapping of the molecular network of obesity. To collect large number of blood sample from obese and non-obese donors, prepare
plasma, DNA and RNA. Generate quality genomics and proteomics data. Analyse the data to identify new molecular targets and biomarkers by mapping of the
molecular network of obesity using bioinformatic tools.

…and the possible results - future• Initiate R & D project for the development of new obesity drug.
• Initiate the development of new diagnostic / prediction of the evolvement of obesity.
