24-27 June | ESPGHAN 58th annual meeting
Join our experts on Health & Microbiology, Dr. Gabriele Gross and Ioana Iorga during the annual meeting of ESPGHAN in Lille, France. Gabriele will present an e-poster:
‘An innovative approach to study human-identical GM3 digestion and metabolism to determine its effects on biomarkers for neonatal brain development‘
Gabriele will explain about this study, which was performed by University of Twente, biotech company CarboCode and NIZO Food Research. They investigated how a key component of human milk, ganglioside GM3, influences brain development. This project was partly funded by the Biostime Institute’s Research Partnership Progam, whose support enabled this pioneering work. Using an in vitro pipeline to study Human Milk-identical GM3 ganglioside digestion and metabolism the effects on biomarkers for infant brain development were assessed.
