Connecting science and community through thyroid health research
On April 14, 2025, the official introduction of the InnoThyroGen project will take place at the University of Split School of Medicine (MEFST). This international initiative, supported by Horizon Europe, brings together researchers and clinicians dedicated to advancing thyroid health through genomics and personalized medicine.
The InnoThyroGen Launch Event: What’s on the Agenda?
Hosted by MEFST, the coordinating institution, the event marks the public start of a multi-country collaboration focused on improving thyroid disease diagnostics and treatment. Attendees will hear from project partners about upcoming research, goals, and the expected impact on community thyroid health.
Location: Amphitheatre, University of Split School of Medicine
Date: Monday, April 14, 2025
Schedule:
- 14:00 – 16:00 | Project launch and press conference

As part of the launch, citizens will be invited to participate in a study aiming to better understand factors As part of the InnoThyroGen launch event, adult citizens with thyroid-related conditions will have the opportunity to participate in a clinical study that supports real-world research on thyroid health.
Eligibility criteria for participation:
Participants must:
- Be over 18 years of age
- Have a confirmed diagnosis of one of the following conditions:
– Hypothyroidism
– Hyperthyroidism
– Hashimoto’s thyroiditis
– Graves’ disease
– Thyroid cancer
Participants will receive:

This initiative is part of a broader effort to improve thyroid health outcomes through citizen engagement and innovative, genomics-based diagnostics. All health data will be handled in accordance with strict ethical and data protection standards.
Why Focus on Thyroid Health?
Millions of people worldwide suffer from thyroid-related conditions, yet many remain undiagnosed. InnoThyroGen aims to address this gap by improving diagnostic accuracy and promoting preventive thyroid health care based on genetic profiling and precision medicine.
The project also aims to engage the local population, encouraging proactive health monitoring and collaboration between researchers and the community.
