Optimal blood circulation.

Obiettivo

A CHALLENGE IN FUNCTIONAL FOODS We are looking for 2 enthusiastic fellows interested to work in the area of functional foods. They will be introduced and become active in the development of foods that contribute to a healthy blood circulation. This will be done within the recently established Unilever Health Institute (UHI). This group forms the research and knowledge centre for functional foods within Unilever Best foods, one of the world's largest producers of consumer goods.
THE CHALLENGE: The demand from consumers for functional foods with health benefits increases continuously. Therefore the development of new functional foods is a key focus within the UHI. The identification of new natural ingredients with potential health benefits and subsequent testing for efficacy are performed in well-designed intervention trials. These, together with product development, are major research lines within UHI, which currently houses about 150 scientists and technicians.
YOUR JOB: Within the Cardiovascular Health (CVH) Platform we are looking for 2 fellows who are able to develop outstanding cell assays, non-invasive methods to characterize blood flow and to study the physiology that is involved. Besides laboratory work, intensive literature research and market monitoring of CVH food products is expected. The fellows will get support from senior scientists in Unilever and benefit from the extensive network established within the UHI. They will be trained in several fields: development of functional foods in an industrial environment, working knowledge of standardized protocols and test guidelines, human intervention studies etc. The multidisciplinary, multinational and multicultural environment will contribute to the personal development of the fellows. The fellowships are possible through the financial support from the European Committee.
