MEMORI (Multidisciplinary Early Modification of Obesity Risk)
MEMORI is part of an evolving ‘Excellence Network Obesity’ aiming at improving the quality of obesity research and accelerating the translation of new scientific knowledge into clinical practice. The study objective of MEMORI is to enhance the scientific basis for effective and efficient early obesity prevention in childhood by an integrated multidisciplinary research approach. MEMORI is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. Professor Berthold Koletzko, MD, Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich, acts as the Coordinating Investigator of MEMORI.
