Plattel and her team: ‘Research and education are necessary, full stop.’
B12 Institute Rotterdam General Director Ms Plattel:
‘A lot has been written on B12 and folate deficiency. Further studies are required to optimize B12 and folate deficiency diagnostics and treatment and map the “Black Holes” (so-called by Prof. Ebba Nexø during the opening of the Homocysteine Conference in Aarhus, Denmark, 2017).
That is why we will not wait for our research to be funded; we will initiate it in our free time. One of the aims of my team and I’s setting up this center was to apply diagnostics and treatment based on the most recent academic research results and conduct studies ourselves.
Therefore, I have invested many years in establishing a solid network of international academic researchers focusing on B12 and folate metabolism. Their knowledge is essential and significant for diagnosing and treating patients in our practice. They enable us to use up-to-date expertise and give our patients the best possible care.
Conversely, the practical expertise and experience gained at B12 Institute is essential for researchers worldwide. During the FASEB Conference (Folic Acifirst findings on women with B12 deficiency resulted in a productive exchange of information. The research is still in progress.’
We are happy to share our findings during presentations in hospitals and HAPs:>>
