✔️ Seven Working Groups are specializing in a strategic scientific question about food digestive process and placed under the coordination of international Researchers, as reported on the here-below INFOGEST organisation scheme:

♾️♾️♾️♾️♾️♾️

✔️ Main actions of the Working Groups :

▶️ WG1: In vitro digestion models:

WG1 leaders: Isidra Recio CSIC Spain, Lotti Egger Agroscope Switzerland & Andre Brodkorb Teagasc Ireland

*

▶️ WG2: Food Interaction & meal digestion:

WG2 leaders: Uri Lesmes Technion Israel & Pasquale Ferranti Univ Naples Italy

*

▶️ WG3: Intestinal Barrier Models:

WG3 leaders: Linda Giblin (Teagasc Food Research Centre), Ireland

WG3 Subgroup leaders: Alina Kondrashina (H&H Global) / Gianfranco Mamone (CNR, Italy) / Shanna Bastiaan-Net (WUR, The Netherlands) / Beatriz Miralles (CSIC-CIAL, Spain) / Lidia Tomás (AINIA, Spain) / Elena Arranz  (UAM, Spain)

*

▶️ WG4: Digestive lipases and lipid digestion: 

WG4 leaders: Marion Letisse INSA France, Leslie Couedelo ITERG France & Frédéric Carrière CNRS France

*

▶️ WG5: Digestive amylases and starch digestion:

WG5 leader: Marilisa Alongi University of Udine Italy & Daniela Freitas Teagasc France

*

▶️ WG6: In silico models of food digestion:

WG6 leaders: Choi-Hong Lai Univ Greenwich UK & Steven Le Feunteun INRAE France

The main objectives of the WG6 are to gather researchers interested in modelling food digestion and related mechanisms, and to make the state-of-the-art in mathematical modelling and numerical technologies for food digestion, as well as to initiate collaborative works.

*

▶️ WG7: Imaging technologies applied to digestion:

WG7 leaders: Paul Smeets WUR Netherlands & Luca Marciani Univ Nottingham UK

The overall objectives of the WG7 are to foster research and knowledge exchange in studies relevant to human digestion (in vitro, in vivo) involving the use of imaging techniques (MRI, scintigraphy, ultrasonography, microscopy). Objectives are also to harmonize data collection and analysis approaches, encourage data curation, data sharing and foster collaborative analyses to advance this field.
