Our research centres around the realms of nutrition, nutraceuticals, and microbiome investigations. Our primary goal is to tackle the escalating global burden of chronic and non-communicable diseases, primarily stemming from inadequate diets, including cardiovascular issues, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and certain forms of cancer.
Our projects operate at the crossroads of food engineering and medicine, specifically concentrating on the creation of novel nutritional foods and their potential positive impacts on health. We delve into the intricacies of digestion processes and their effects on the human microbiome.
This thematic area's expansiveness enables the integration of a network of teams, fostering a multidisciplinary approach to both product development and the validation of health-related claims.
