Health Challenges of the Future

While modern medicine & lifestyle changes have drastically benefited our lives in recent decades, they are also partly responsible for the emergence of new health challenges such as obesity, our resistance to antibiotics & a considerable increase in cancers. At AXA we believe that reversing these negative health trends is a priority. So, how should we address these new challenges?
To answer this question the AXA Research Fund has granted 4 new research projects in 2016, with a total commitment of almost €400K, specifically:
- Dr Chen's research aims to improve lung cancer treatment using state of the art imaging technology
- Dr Coppola's research aims at better ways to cure pancreatic cancer through earlier diagnosis
- Dr Petrelli is paving the way for the development of new non-invasive treatments for type 2 diabetes that rely on our immune system
- Dr Maculins aims to help fight bacterial infection through better understanding of how bacteria hijack the host's inflammatory response
Your well-being and future rely on the power of research. The AXA Research Fund is dedicated to promoting discoveries that help us understand and better prepare against environmental, life and socio-economic risks.
