Nestlé Health Science is seeking subject matter experts who specialize in formulating dietary solutions that enhance muscle health and support healthy aging, specifically those with experience in conducting clinical trials to validate the efficacy claims of dietary solutions.
Background
We are a global leader in nutritional science, dedicated to redefining the management of health. As people age, they often experience a loss of muscle mass, strength and function - a condition known as sarcopenia that severely impacts quality of life and strains health care systems worldwide. While current nutritional interventions have shown potential in mitigating muscle loss associated with aging, there have been few groundbreaking advancements that can dramatically restore muscle function.
We are thus looking for relevant experts working with nutritional ingredients that enhance the lifestyle of the healthy aging population by providing muscle support and improving mobility. Examples of these ingredients may include, but are not limited to, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, plant extracts and herbs, enzymes, probiotics, fatty acids, meal replacements, and antioxidants.
While the ideal partner would have robust clinical programs to test new formulations and novel nutritional ingredients, we are also open to collaborating with researchers who have initial promising pre-clinical data on dietary solutions targeting muscle function and mobility.
What we're looking for
We are looking to build our network of experts exploring innovative dietary solutions that enhance muscle strength and support in the aging population (40+). We are specifically interested in researchers developing novel nutrients or formulations with proven or potential effectiveness in addressing sarcopenia. Our goal is to collaborate with leading universities and organizations within 1-2 years to test these solutions and bring them to wider use.
Novel nutritional ingredients with preliminary muscle support data
Known nutritional ingredients with novel/promising muscle support data
Age-specific nutrient blends for muscle support in the elderly population
Experience with mobility or sarcopenia research with a focus on nutritional interventions that address muscle loss and function in aging populations
Experience with pre-clinical models aimed at testing the efficacy of novel nutrients for enhanced mobility and/or muscle support
Muscle loss associated with weight loss particularly in the context of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) drugs for weight loss
Development and testing of dietary interventions (dietary supplements; oral nutrition supplements; tube feeding) with a deep understanding of formulation and safety assessments
Nutrition and healthy aging with demonstrated contributions to improving mobility in aging populations or advancing the understanding of sarcopenia mechanisms and prevention
Clinical translation of research findings
Clinical trials to validate efficacy claims of dietary solutions
Nutraceutical research for women aged 40-45+
Researchers focused primarily on pharmaceutical compounds
- Accepting applications from experts based in all countries
