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.
Better understanding of the relationship between dietary inflammation and adiposity in childhood may be important in the context of identifying modifiable behaviours for early prevention of childhood obesity. In this project we characterised childhood dietary inflammation using the recently described child dietary inflammatory index (C-DII).
Our project aims to identify the link between early intestinal microbiota signatures in very preterm neonates and the maturation of gut, lung, and the development of immunity which is unbalanced in several diseases such as allergy.
On the 1st and 2nd of July 2023, BINC China held the 7th annual Biostime Institute for Nutrition and Care (BINC) symposium in Kunming, China. Researchers from renowned institutes from across China presented important scientific advances in breastmilk research, infant microbiome, immune system maturation and HMOs as the next frontier in China.
In May, the BINC team attended the annual meeting of the European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN Annual Meeting). More than 4,000 global visitors got together for networking around science and infant nutrition with key opinion leaders, partners and practitioners.
