The Center for Lysosomal and Metabolic Diseases is an internationally recognized center of expertise for metabolic diseases and stands for innovation. Clinicians and basic scientists work together to develop and apply new treatments and high-quality diagnostics.
Given the rarity of many metabolic diseases and the complexity of diagnostics, follow-up and treatment, the presence of centers of expertise is desirable. Within the Netherlands, the Center for Lysosomal and Metabolic Diseases is one of the 6 metabolic centers that fulfill this role.
The center provides customized multidisciplinary care and treatment to patients with complex metabolic disorders from the Erasmus MC, the LUMC and the South West Netherlands region.
Within the center, the departments of Pediatrics, Clinical Genetics, Hospital Pharmacy, Internal Medicine and Neurology work together structurally on scientific research, training and especially patient care. Both children and adult patients are seen in our center. The age-transcending care is guaranteed by the close collaboration between doctors who care for children and adults. This allows us to follow patients throughout their lives.
The Center for Lysosomal and Metabolic Diseases has been recognized by the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport as a national expertise center for hereditary metabolic diseases.
