2:15pm - Rousselot Science - today and tomorrow
Rousselot’s goal is to keep pushing the boundaries of collagen-based solutions for the benefit of people’s wellbeing and health: from collagen peptide supplements that can reduce joint discomfort, to hydrogels that can be used to recreate 3D disease models to improve drug testing. Partnerships with experts in research, industry and consumer behavior are key to bring collagen-based innovations forward.
This presentation will showcase how Rousselot runs science today, spanning from mechanistic work in cell culture to proof of efficacy in randomized clinical trials. We will also sketch future opportunities in consumer- and patient real-world evidence by using digital tools and biomedical technologies like organ on a chip or 3D printing of tissues to develop personalized solutions.
