starScience
Exploring Metabolic Health Since 2015
At starScience we see ourselves as accelerators for novel scientific approaches aiming to improve lives of individuals affected by metabolic diseases such as obesity, prediabetes and diabetes. One of our special area of expertise is the evaluation of food as medicine concepts. We are also interested in developing novel diagnostic tools. For this, we cooperate with science-driven public and corporate actors interested in preventive health and nutrition. In cooperation with our clinics at Stoffwechselzentrum Rhein-Pfalz and other partners, we have access to thousands of individuals affected by metabolic disease.
starScience supports its partners in evaluating evidence-based concepts from the first idea to publication in a peer-reviewed journal. We aim to work with people with a strong interest in advancing the field.
