Heard of an interesting new project that is starting in the Netherlands. It is called NGID.
They received funding for a 6 year project. And they are going to investigate the skin with optometric instruments and biopts with the purpose of finding markers that define the psoriasis in a personal way.
The idea is to do so much research into that markers and combined with that the treatments that work for that markers, that in the future it will become possible to measure the markers for a patient and then to be immediately able to prescribe a treatment that will probably work.
I think it will be a complex project and I see that a lot of well-known names in the medical world over here are involved. People from Radboud Medical Centre in Nijmegen, specialised in psoriasis, and people from Leiden University. The project is executed by CHDR (Centre for Human Drug Research) also located in Leiden. Even psychologists are involved to find the psychological markers, like stress or depression.
I will try to keep an eye on this project and see if they make progress. Unfortunately for me for now there are no references to Psoriatic Arthritis.
