(Photo: Olivier Brandenberg, Laos) - Pascale Vonaesch, Scientific Project Leader at the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute (Swiss TPH), was awarded a prestigious Eccellenza Professorial Fellowship grant of the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF). The grant will allow Vonaesch to pursue her research in childhood nutrition and health. Malnutrition negatively impacts on people's health and wellbeing. Particularly in lowand middle-income countries, underand over-nutrition can coexist, either in parallel or at different life stages. Intestinal microbiota have been recognized as having a central role in the body's response to food intake and thus also to the effect malnutrition has on health. The SNSF Eccellenza grant will allow Pascale Vonaesch and her team to further investigate the role of the microbiota and to better understand the effect early life malnutrition has on metabolic diseases.
