Gaining expertise on weight loss: A TNO symposium

TNO contributes to the battle against overweight and obesity by actively supporting companies developing weight management products. We do this by providing expertise and by developing strategies for claim support. This symposium will present recent highlights of our expertise and some of our recent developments in weight management research in three lectures.
Gaining expertise on screening and analytics (Dr Heleen Wortelboer, senior scientist) will focus on: screening assays to find active ingredients, biomarker analysis and biomarker development using metabolomics and transcriptomics. Gaining expertise on metabolic imprinting (Dr Andre Wolterbeek, senior scientist) will present results obtained in our new cross-fostering (rat) models on metabolic imprinting and neurodevelopment effects.
Gaining expertise on weight management clinical trials (Dr Henk Hendriks) will discuss the newest outcomes on smart mixes using stable isotope tracer technology, ex vivo functional analyses and omics technology aimed at substantiating health effects.
