NutriGenius Does Extensive Research for a Healthier Future NutriGenius Does Extensive Research for a Healthier Future

Research

Nutrigenius is committed to contribute to the advancement of science towards a healthier and more sustainable planet. Our research focus is on chronic conditions such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and certain forms of cancer that have been dubbed “penalties of obesity”.

Although we do not directly work on communicable diseases, evidence suggest that improving general health and reducing the "overfat" pandemic will have a positive impact on infectious conditions too, as insulin resistance and overfat reduces the potency of the immune response.

We are proud to be home to experts with proven track record and publications in the fields of nutrition and dietetics, exercise, mental health, obesity, diabetes, sleep, chronobiology, neurobiology, molecular biology, stem cells and regenerative medicine.

Our R&D department continues to conduct both basic as well as applied research to elucidate mechanisms of disease and come up with innovative solutions to better human health and the health of our planet.
