32 CAPHRI CARE AND PUBLIC HEALTH RESEARCH INSTITUTE Improving the individual’s quality of life and improving general public health and healthcare form the common thread that runs through our research. We work together with and for the region. Our focus is on interventions throughout the care spectrum, from prevention and primary care to aftercare and rehabilitation. Our aim is to gain insight into the effectiveness of the various interventions, with their relevance to society being of prime importance. We take account of inequality, participation and globalisation. NUTRIM SCHOOL OF NUTRITION AND TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH IN METABOLISM We contribute to the full range of general and personalised promotion of human physical and mental health. This includes research on the underlying mechanisms of age, acute and chronic organ failure, lifestyle and other environmental factors, and their influence on the metabolism. We study the effectiveness of, among other things, new diet and exercise interventions in test subjects in a controlled laboratory environment. In addition, we develop and evaluate metabolic interventions as an integral part of the treatment of chronic diseases and in the oncological treatment process. Our research is characterised by a translational approach in multidisciplinary teams. MHeNS SCHOOL FOR MENTAL HEALTH AND NEUROSCIENCE We do neuroscientific research on neurological and psychiatric conditions, and mental health in general. In this way, we develop a better understanding of the relationship between the brain and human behaviour. For this purpose, we conduct research on the electrical activity of brain tissue and imaging techniques, as well as the influence of diet, for example, on brain function. We do this work not only for the patients of Maastricht UMC+, but we also focus on the general population. CARIM SCHOOL FOR CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES Driven by curiosity and clinical need, we do research on cardiovascular diseases and apply the results of this research in the clinic. We focus on the complete cardiovascular spectrum of blood, blood vessels and the heart. We want to understand molecular mechanisms and the disruption of those mechanisms. To this end, we use cutting-edge cellular and physical models, molecular designs, synthesis and imaging. We are working on the prevention of cardiovascular diseases and on early diagnosis and treatment. Healthy Living 2025
