Participation in the European Nutrishield project through analysis of breast milk
The SNH foundation is a member of the NUTRISHIELD consortium, a project funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement no. 818110. Nutrishield aims to create a personalized platform for young people.
The platform will include new methods and techniques, which analyze a wide range of biomarkers related to nutrition and health. Based on the results, the platform then uses information and communication technologies, extending existing mobile nutrition support applications, to provide feedback and guide people towards better nutrition. This considers how each person reacts to different nutrients and types of food, also analyzing their phenotype, genome expression, microbiome composition, state of health, mental and psychological state, as well as their financial ability to access food.
As part of this international project, SNHf will study the vitamin status of human milk, looking at the relationships between milk vitamin composition, maternal diet, the microbiome and newborn health.
This unique project enables our foundation to better understand the nutritional complexity of human milk. For further information, please visit the NUTRISHIELD solution website.
