Alberto Noronha, CEO of startup NIUM, together with Adam Selamnia founded the spin-off company from the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) – University of Luxembourg which develops personalised nutrition solutions to enable for a better understanding of metabolism and health.
Luxembourg, a place for translating research into innovation
Luxembourg offers many opportunities for researchers who wish to translate scientific research into innovation, facilitating the pathway to commercialisation through the creation of companies. NIUM benefited from a proof-of-concept grant (JUMP programme) from the Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR). NIUM has also been supported by the University of Luxembourg’s Incubator and Entrepreneurship Programme and is now housed in the brand new House of Biohealth incubator.
The spin-off offers technologies to assess the impact of new products on health, by providing:
- Bioinformatics and modelling with the analysis of clinical or experimental data for nutrition to understand the impact of ingredients on metabolism and gut microbiota;
- Experimental models with in vitro experiments and gut-on-a-chip models to generate evidence on the health impact of ingredients and foods;
- Personalised nutrition for clinical application through a digital solution for healthcare providers to better manage patients and support therapeutic strategies.
