GALATEA diGitAL twin frAmework for TailorEd infAnt nutrition

The research and innovation program, named GALATEA, stands as a pioneering venture targeting infant nutrition through the development of a digital twin of human milk. The program brings together interdisciplinary expertise from computational modeling, bioinformatics, clinical neonatology, experimental lab techniques, and engineered bioreactors for cell culturing, forming a consortium dedicated to advancing our understanding of human milk's complexities. The overarching objective is to create a sophisticated simulation platform that mirrors the intricate composition of human milk, allowing for the formulation of personalized nutrition plans for infants, particularly those born prematurely. GALATEA's innovative spirit extends beyond computational models, encompassing experimental lab work utilizing bioreactors and cutting-edge techniques like metabolomics and proteomics. The program's mobility component facilitates cross-disciplinary learning among participating organizations, fostering collaborative knowledge exchange. Anticipated outcomes include enhanced health outcomes for newborns, a deeper understanding of human milk for the advancement of artificial milk formulations, and the establishment of a robust research community dedicated to neonatal nutrition. GALATEA represents a holistic and innovative approach to the fundamental challenge of infant nutrition, setting new standards for personalized strategies and collaborative interdisciplinary efforts.
