Our skills

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Nutribrain meets the needs of manufacturers by offering :

Technical services

• literature monitoring
• Assays of peripheral and central biomarkers (inflammatory, hormonal, neuromediator markers, ….) using state-of-the-art technologies:
– High-throughput molecular biology
– Transcriptomics
– Immunohistochemistry
– Microscopy
– Electrophysiology

•Pre-clinical study protocols

• Animal models of human physiopathology: perinatal, ageing, transgenic models, …
• Animal models of human nutritional status: deficiency, unbalanced diets, obesity, diabetes, …
• Control and qualification of nutritional status using diets and dosages
• Qualification of physio-pathological status and its modulations (peripheral and central inflammation, metabolic marker, corticotropic axis activity, …)
• Demonstration of behavioral effects (on memory, mood, etc.) using behavioral tests validated by numerous publications and approved by the scientific community
• Understanding the mechanisms involved in the functional effects of nutrients

Clinical study protocols
nutritional intervention

• Nutritional intervention
• Characterization of population inclusion criteria
• Monitoring of nutritional markers (nutrient dosage)
• Monitoring of biomarkers (inflammation, etc.) linked to nutrition and cognitive or emotional state
• Neuropsychiatric and cognitive assessments
• Type of population: paediatric population, elderly population, healthy adult population

Collaborative research projects

research projects with local, national and international partners. These projects aim to have an impact on public health by offering nutritional solutions to prevent brain health problems in at-risk populations.

EXPERTISE AND CONSULTING

Promoting research results

• Scientific publications in high-impact journals
• Patents
• Communication at scientific or professional conferences

Vulgarization of research results

• Support for companies’ marketing departments in disseminating research results
• Communication at professional conferences
• Communication for the general public

COMMUNICATION

Communication as experts in nutrition and neuroscience during scientific conferences, for specialist journals and websites, and for competitiveness clusters such as Valorial.

TRAINING

We can provide training in the field of lipid nutrition or neuroinflammation.

NutriBrain also participates in the training of Master 1, Master 2 and PhD students. Projects developed with industrial partners can lead to CIFRE or industrials PhD, enabling students to acquire dual academic and industrial skills.
