Our team
The International Institute of DAO deficiency is a healthcare organisation that connects patients with DAO deficiency specialists worldwide. The Institute was founded in 2015 in Barcelona (Spain) and at that time our services were located in different Spanish hospitals. After a few years, we felt the need to help as many people as possible in any part of the world.
In 2022, we created a Global Licensing Program to build an international network of specialized healthcare professionals.
15% of the population suffers from DAO deficiency and don't know it.
In fact, when diagnosis is confirmed, is common to hear how late it has come. For this reason, one of our objectives is to provide the best treatment after a good diagnosis, avoiding prolonging the suffering.
The Institute is led by Adriana Duelo, clinical nutrionist and pre-doctoral researcher, and her closest team with over 13 years of clinical and scientific experience in DAO deficiency.
