HUMAN MILK IS A COMPLEX ORCHESTRA OF NUTRIENTS
WITH CORRESPONDING BENEFITS
HUMAN MILK CONTAINS NUMEROUS INGREDIENTS, INCLUDING NUTRIENTS,
BIOACTIVE COMPOUNDS, IMMUNE CELLS AND LIVE MICROORGANISMS
"It's complex analytic research that we find challenging and fascinating in equal measure... we are constantly discovering new things." - Bernd Stahl, Director of Human Milk Research Team

Unique State-of-the-Art Technologies
Power our Discoveries
TIM-1 (TNO Gastro-Intestinal Model)
Computer-controlled model of the
infant stomach and small intestine.
Enables the study of changes in human milk
or formula components at any stage of digestion.
Able to mimic in-vivo conditions by dictating
secretion and levels of digestive enzymes and
PH flow of blood.
Allows sampling at multiple sites along GI tract
model, analysis of behavior of different nutrients
and compounds.
SHIME (Simulator of Human Intestinal Microbial Ecosystem)
In-vitro model of human gut microbial community in the colon
Our Baby SHIME is the first of its kind, providing insight into the gut microbiota of infants and young children. Enables investigation of effects and interaction between nutritional products and gut microbiota. Allows for proof-on-concept studies, such as pathogen infection and antibiotic effects on gut health.
