Hereditary Haemorrhagic Telangiectasia

Scientific research on HHT

Scientific research is necessary further improve screening modalities and treatment options. The St. Antonius Hospital is well-positioned for such research, on the one hand because of the large amount of medical data it has available and, on the other hand, because of its close cooperation with excellent laboratories.

SWORO Foundation

The Foundation (Stichting) for Scientific (Wetenschappelijk) Research (Onderzoek) in Rendu Osler disease (SWORO) was founded in September 2005 to find the means to achieve the above goals (see addresses). Money is required for scientific work (to cover salaries for young researches, lab work and equipment, etc). Your contribution is well appreciated in our  quest for more scientific discoveries.
