Main content
TRIGGER is a collaborative research project supported by the European Union’s FP7 programme and consists of 7 universities and 3 research centers from all around Europe. The project is coordinated by Piotr Mydel, who is in charge of the PTM-group here at the Broegelmann Research Laboratory.
This consortium of research groups are exploring novel approaches to prevent and/or treat CVD, RA and COPD, by exploring highly innovative ideas that these non-communicable disease are at least aggravated, if not initiated by periodontal infection.
