Osteolabs

Osteolabs GmbH is a spin-off from GEOMAR Helmholtz-Zentrum für Ozeanforschung Kiel. The idea of using trace elements in the human body for the early detection of osteoporosis, which was previously impossible, can now make treatment success measurable. Marine researchers from GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, together with physicians from the University Medical Center Schleswig-Holstein (UKSH), have developed an early detection method for osteoporosis based on analytical methods derived from marine research, allowing for earlier diagnosis than traditional methods.
