Our approach

the therapy-accelerating wheel

To accelerate and innovate translational research and care, we use the Emma CPM therapy-accelerating wheel. The patient and the family are at the center and can go through the entire knowledge chain from diagnostics to clinical trials and approval of therapy.

Our multidisciplinary team works with the conviction that each patient is unique and should be treated based on individual (epi)genetic characteristics, symptoms and disease course, preferences and needs. Education, training, valorization and ethics are firmly embedded in all steps of the catalyst wheel.

By combining expertise, knowledge and (international) collaboration, the wheel will turn faster towards effective therapy.

We use the therapy-accelerating wheel for every disease. Each step is covered and connected, with the ultimate goal of getting the wheel spin faster.

The Emma CPM is a center of expertise at the Amsterdam UMC focusing on patients and families with a rare genetic disorder.

A collaboration between the Emma Children's Hospital, the Department of Human Genetics, the Laboratory of Genetic Metabolic Diseases, and various departments and laboratories.
