IFF Honors Two Leading Academics, Supporting Advancement of Human Microbiome Innovation, Scientific Discovery and Technology
IFF has presented its 2024 Science Awards to two distinguished university scientists for their contributions to food, nutrition, and health advancement. Tom Desmet, Ph.D. from Ghent University was recognized for his groundbreaking work in biocatalysis and enzyme design for carbohydrate synthesis. Yolanda Sanz, Ph.D. from IATA-CSIC was honored for her research on gut microbiome relationships with celiac disease, obesity, and stress-related disorders.
Each recipient receives a $30,000 prize. The awards continue the legacy of the Danisco Foundation, established in 1981, which IFF maintains following its merger with DuPont's Nutrition and Biosciences in 2021. Recipients are selected through a rigorous nomination process by IFF Technical Fellows and R&D leaders.
IFF ha presentato i suoi Premi Scientifici 2024 a due eminenti scienziati universitari per i loro contributi al progresso nel campo del cibo, della nutrizione e della salute. Tom Desmet, Ph.D. dell'Università di Gand è stato riconosciuto per il suo lavoro pionieristico nella biocatalisi e nel design di enzimi per la sintesi dei carboidrati. Yolanda Sanz, Ph.D. dell'IATA-CSIC è stata premiata per la sua ricerca sulle relazioni del microbioma intestinale con la celiachia, l'obesità e i disturbi legati allo stress.
Ogni premiato riceve un premio di 30.000 dollari. I premi continuano l'eredità della Danisco Foundation, fondata nel 1981, che IFF mantiene a seguito della sua fusione con DuPont's Nutrition and Biosciences nel 2021. I destinatari vengono selezionati tramite un rigoroso processo di nomina da parte dei Fellows Tecnici e dei leader della R&D di IFF.
