Quantitative Science Fund
Reducing the global incidence and effects of obesity and diabetes.
DIFFERENCE is achieving this by focussing on the root causes of metabolic dysfunction and exclusively in the public interest — and will not allow any competition from the interests of either its operators or its donors.
Our mission
The Foundation is developing robust scientific support for approaches to prevent and reverse the target diseases. It does so through designing, guiding and funding highly quantitative research to develop strong evidence on the impact of lifestyle factors on metabolic welfare — and in facilitating and guiding social and industrial policies based on this evidence.
To turn back the metabolic and diabetes epidemic.
