Conclusions and Wrap-up

Edwin Habeych

Director del grupo de Micronutrientes y Bioactivos en el Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales del Centro de Investigación de Nestlé en Lausanne (Suiza); al cual se encuentra vinculado desde el 2009.  Investigador senior, enfocado al descubrimiento, desarrollo e implementación de nuevas tecnologías para la estabilización de Micronutrientes (i.e., vitaminas y minerales) en productos alimenticios. En los últimos años gran parte de la investigación del Dr. Habeych se ha enfocado al desarrollo de nuevos fortificantes de hierro con alta estabilidad y biodisponibilidad a través del estudio de acomplejamiento de este mineral con moléculas naturales. Como resultado de sus investigaciones, Dr. Habeych actualmente se encuentra liderando varias iniciativas para la fortificación de alimentos en zonas con alta prevalencia de deficiencias de micronutrientes en África y el sudeste de Asia.
