Dr. Maurizio Battino, director of the Fundación Universitaria Iberoamericana (Iberoamerican University Foundation, FUNIBER) at its headquarters in Italy and renowned scientific researcher in the field of nutrition, participated in a recent interview published by the digital scientific journal Nutrition Insight. On this occasion, he shared his thoughts alongside prominent members of the Food, Nutritional Biochemistry, and Health Research Group at the Universidad Europea del Atlántico (European University of the Atlantic, UNEATLANTICO), including Dr. Manuela Cassota and Dr. Francesca Giampieri, on the advances made by the application of Organ-on-Chip technology in the study of biological processes linked to food and health.
During the dialogue, Dr. Battino highlighted the revolutionary potential of this tool for nutritional research, as it allows the recreation of complex cellular environments under controlled conditions. This approach opens up new perspectives for more accurate and effective studies, contributing to the development of innovative strategies in nutrition and well-being.
Dr. Battino’s participation in this international forum highlights FUNIBER’s firm commitment to the generation and dissemination of cutting-edge scientific knowledge. It also reflects the close collaboration between the Foundation and UNEATLANTICO, a university belonging to FUNIBER’s International University Network, which promotes interdisciplinary research and the development of high-impact projects in the area of health.
The Ibero-American University Foundation (FUNIBER), present in more than 35 countries, has the mission of facilitating access to higher education and promoting scientific research through a solid network of universities and associated centers. In this context, the leadership of researchers such as Dr. Battino is essential to strengthen the transfer of knowledge and position nutrition as a key axis in social and academic progress.
The interview in Nutrition Insight also highlights the value of teamwork and international scientific collaboration, elements that are part of FUNIBER’s model of action. Thanks to this synergy, new opportunities are consolidated to advance knowledge and generate practical solutions that contribute to the well-being of society.
With initiatives such as this, FUNIBER reaffirms its role as a catalyst for academic and scientific development, in line with its social commitment and international vocation for educational, cultural, and technological cooperation.
