All staff and students are invited to attend this open seminar with invited speaker Professor Frédéric Carrière, Research Director at Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) and Aix-Marseille University (Bioenergetics and Protein Engineering lab since 2018)
In-vitro digestion models are convenient and reatively cheap compared with human feeding trials; any simulation of the human digestive system will always approximate to the situation in-vivo. Prof Carrière will describe some of the latest developments, that he has been part of, which move this model ever closer to the real thing. He will give us some highlights of the INFOGEST network and working group on lipases and lipid digestion.
Prof. Frederic Carriere has an international reputation in the area of lipid digestion, and has extensive knowledge of the human GI tract. He is part of the advisory team for INFOGEST [Infogest aims at building an open international network of institutes undertaking multidisciplinary basic research on food digestion gathering scientists from different origins (food scientists, gut physiologists, nutritionists…)]
