Personalized Food and Drug

The combination of medicine, nutrition, and food technology with big data and AI make it possible to personalize effective interventions, ranging from tailored nutrition to personalized medicines. Researchers will develop scalable food and pharmaceutical interventions that could be commercialized to reshape public health, including tailored solutions for boosting immunity and, potentially, controlled modulation of immunological aging. This research theme is led by Prof. Uri Lesmes

Prof. Uri Lesmes is head of the Food Chemistry, Bioactives and Digestion Lab, and director of the Carasso FoodTech Innovation Center at the Technion. His research focuses on food rational design, digestibility, and colloid research using in vitro human digestion models and foodomics tools.
