TenWise B.V. and NIZO Food Research BV sign cooperation on biological big data analysis

On March 1^st 2020 TenWise and NIZO Food Research BV signed an agreement where both parties collaborate on the interpretation of biological data for the food, health and personal care markets. Both parties will grant each other access to algorithms, databases and microbiome knowledge modules.

“This collaboration will enable NIZO to integrate TenWise’s strong data analytical skills and text mining tools and combine these with our strong expertise and multidisciplinary approach in projects that evolve around trials required for health benefit substantiation support, food fermentation, literature scoping and processing. For these project, multi-omics analyses need to be applied and TenWise-NIZO collaboration will help in applying this efficiently“ says Berend Oosterhuis, CCO of NIZO.

“NIZO is supporting dairy, food and health companies with the research & development of new applications. In addition, NIZO is a leader in performing experiments with proprietary microbiome models for skin and gut, as well as human clinical trials in healthy volunteers. More and more analytical data are being gathered as part of such projects including microbiota analyses and metabolomics in order to assist in finding biomarkers for health and disease. We are happy to be able to assist NIZO in integration and interpretation of multi-omics data and finding relations with relevant knowledge in literature.” Says Nils Hijlkema, CCO of TenWise.

We are looking forward to apply our new collaboration in the near future for serving our mutual customers in the field of food and personal care and health markets.
