With over 18 years of research, we are dedicated to advancing the forefront of scientific knowledge in the field of iron metabolism and its impact on women's health in particular. Our research is driven by a passion to improve the lives of millions affected by iron-related disorders worldwide.
Our experts have worked tirelessly to unravel the mysteries of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anaemia. Through cutting-edge technology and innovative methodologies, we aim to uncover new insights that can pave the way for ground-breaking supplementation.
On this page, you’ll find information about our ongoing research projects, published papers, and scientific contributions. We believe in the power of sharing knowledge, and thus, we are committed to fostering an open and collaborative environment in the scientific community.
