The Roquette Foundation for Health and the DigestScience Foundation are convinced that nutrition is a key field of research for improving human health. Poor eating plays an undeniable role in the development of many major pathologies, such as diabetes, cardiovascular illness and obesity. Therefore, it is essential to fund research work that clarifies the role of food in these pathological mechanisms and develop effective treatments and prevention policies.
This is why the Roquette Foundation for Health supports DigestScience Foundation medical research and, in particular, the HEROIC project.
This study will call on epidemiologists, geographers, gastroenterologists, historians, sociologists, toxicologists, biologists and specialists in air and water quality. The international scientific and medical community recognizes that the Hauts-de-France region is probably a world reference zone for identifying the causes of inflammatory intestinal diseases.

Microbiome Foundation
Created in 2011, the Microbiome Foundation is committed to improving the well-being and health of everyone by providing insight into the role of the intestinal microbiota. It thus finances research on the microbiota as well as general-public awareness-raising initiatives on ways to preserve it, through nutrition in particular. -
Institut Pasteur LuLISA project
A non-profit foundation, Institut Pasteur in Paris contributes to the prevention and treatment of disease, especially infectious disease, through research, education and public health actions. The project supported by the Roquette Foundation aims to develop a quick, easily accessible method for diagnosing various food allergies.
