Collaboration between food, health and medical sciences
Nutrition and Food Research Center (NuFo, former Functional Foods Forum, FFF) is a center in the Faculty of Medicine combining multidisciplinary nutrition, food and health research. Our mission is to excel in researching the complex interplay between food, human metabolism and health, and to disseminate and apply the knowledge accrued on well-being of people and nature.
Focusing on sustainable food choices
We specialize in executing research projects that explore the characteristics of food, its interactions within the human body, as well as the aspects of food-related experiences and behaviors. We are interested especially in sustainable food choices, dietary intake, gut microbiota and subsequent metabolic and clinical health impacts throughout the human life-cycle.
Our center possesses clinical research facilities, sensory laboratory and coordinates the Flavoria® Research Platform enabling in depth studies on complex relationship of nutrition and healthy, sustainable food choices.
