Build a healthy life

It is well known that certain parts of our diets are healthy and other parts barely as healthy. However, we often do not know the underlying explanations, so a new research programme has been launched at KVL to study these observations more closely. The initiative has been named BEST, which stands for "Building a healthy life".

BEST is KVL's first strategic venture and focuses on system biology and biomedicine. In the long term, our overall aim is to identify healthy substances and components in the diet and to clarify the mechanisms that lead to many of the lifestyle diseases that are increasingly causing problems for people in the industrialised world.
