Physiologically Relevant Model Gut System: We are integrating a range of systems for modelling the gastro-intestinal processes of digestion, mucus permeation and intestinal absorption. This includes enzyme assays, in vitro upper gut model, mucus permeation assays and cell-uptake models. These systems provide in vitro alternatives to analyse delivery, functionality and uptake of nutrients, functional foods and pharmaceuticals. We are seeking demonstration projects with industry partners for the development of these models into a fully integrated model of digestion, mucus permeation and small intestinal uptake.
