Meet the Gut-Brain & Neuroscience Research Team

In honor of World Mental Health Day, we are excited to highlight the exceptional work of our Gut-Brain & Neuroscience team, who focus on researching the fascinating microbiota-gut-brain axis to better understand its profound role in both our physical and mental well-being.

“Our mission is to promote brain health throughout all stages of life – from early development to adulthood and ageing, as well as supporting brain recovery following trauma or disease”, says Boris Le Nevé, Senior Team Leader.

Our experts achieve this by delivering new insights and optimized solutions in several key areas, including:

  • Aiding early brain development: Benefiting both healthy infants and those facing challenges at birth.
  • Balancing gut-brain signaling: Collaborating closely with the Gut Biology & Microbiology team to enhance gut comfort and mental well-being.
  • Protecting against brain damage: Facilitating brain repair and supporting its recovery process.
  • Optimizing ketogenic diet therapies: Improving adherence and efficacy in the treatment of epilepsy.
  • Pioneering new scientific capabilities: Developing advanced tools such as in-vitro models and high-content imaging systems.

At Danone Research & Innovation, we are paving the way for groundbreaking advancements in neuroscience and making significant strides in understanding the intricate connection between our microbiota, gut and brain. It is through our expert’s dedicated work that the team ensures we bring health through food to as many people as possible.
