About CADET
CADET was established to employ mass-spectrometric-based analysis of trace elements, metabolites (metabolomics) and proteins (proteomics) to identify and developing new and improved therapeutics. This is done by investigating the molecular mechanisms of chronic non-communicable diseases. Our main disease targets are:
- diabetes mellitus and its complications;
- chronic cardiovascular diseases;
- adult-onset dementia, particularly Alzheimer’s disease;
- age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
