We promote research and develop comprehensive health solutions in the fields of infant and maternal nutrition and care.
latest research topicsAs a hub for scientific cooperation, the BINC Foundation funds research and fosters collaborations and exchanges to increase our understanding and promote innovation in the field of infant and maternal health solutions.
Through our research partnership program, we foster collaborative research in our 4 areas of expertise : mother and child health, biotics and microbiome health, brain development, immunity and allergy.
Conception, gestation, and lactation are critical periods for human development. The exposure to unhealthy dietary patterns, excess weight gain and other environmental factors results in a higher risk of pregnancy complications affecting both mothers and infants.
Mechanistically, inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), principally Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), are considered a consequence of dysregulated interplay between host genetic-susceptibility and immunity, the enteric microenvironment, and environmental “triggers”, but the specific interactions that lead to IBD are unresolved.
BINC is honoured to be the official sponsor of the ESPGHAN Morning Symposium focusing on the topic related to infants’ and children’s health : “Osteopontin – a Multifunctional protein naturally found in human milk – What’s New? “. Two distinguished scientists and renowned practitioner from prestigious institutions - Profs. Esben Sorensen and Cai Wei - will present their latest findings and studies on osteopontin.
We are thrilled to announce our participation as exhibitor and sponsor at the 12th Probiotics, Prebiotics, and New Food Congress on Nutraceuticals, botanicals & phytochemicals for Nutrition & Human, Animal and Microbiota Health, held in the picturesque city of Rome from September 16th to 19th, 2023.
