Research at NUTRIM is about investigating new avenues of knowledge, but this also implies that there is an unavoidable ‘unknown’. The impact of this ‘unknown’ on human health and safety has become particularly clear as the Covid19 pandemic continues to unfold; researchers tried to predict the future on basis of an educated guess, but often failed. It is therefore necessary to continue unraveling the ‘unknown’ and translate the new knowledge into practice to make our society safer by changing life styles and reduce dangerous exposures. However, some level of uncertainty will always remain.

As a result, scientific research on complex biological pathways continues to be the corner stone of improving our health. Coupled with a vast amount of personal data available today, research creates an opportunity to more individually assess someone’s risk and to prevent disease.
