PERFORM closed in June 2021
Over its lifecycle (2016 - 2021) PERFORM developed a comprehensive management plan for febrile patients, capable of being implemented across different health-care systems in Europe, linking sophisticated new genomic and proteomic approaches to clinical phenotyping.
Latest results and outputs are available on the European Commission's CORDIS website
The consortium and their research continues in PERFORM's sister-project DIAMONDS (Diagnosis and Management of Febrile Illness using RNA Personalised Molecular Signature Diagnosis).
