Transforming the lives of millions.
ENDO1000 is a UK-wide research project that will collect data and biological samples from 1000 individuals with endometriosis. The resulting resource will allow much needed research into the development of personalised care for people with endometriosis.
What is endometriosis?
It is a disease where cells similar to those lining the womb grow elsewhere in the body. The most common symptom is chronic pelvic pain.

Project Status
We are collecting biological samples from patients attending the hospital for surgery for endometriosis. We are using smartwatches to learn more about the impact of symptoms, on movement and sleep patterns. We are working with patients to better understand the impact of diet and nutritional supplements on management of symptoms of endometriosis. We have been working with international teams to better understand genetic risk factors that may increase risk of endometriosis and also to develop a blood test for endometriosis.
