INFLANET: Training European Experts in Inflammation: from the molecular players to animal models and the bedside
INFLANET is an EU Horizon 2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie European Training Network that addresses the challenges of alleviating the societal burden of inflammation, not only for acute inflammatory disease, but also for multiple chronic diseases where inflammation is a major contributing factor. In Europe, direct healthcare costs incurred by such patients can be of several billion € per year. Chronic inflammation also plays significant roles in other diseases and conditions that lead to chronic pain, poor sleep quality, obesity, physical impairment, and overall decreased quality of life.
