Biography

The mysteries from your intestines Jurriaan Mes is trying to unravel through a recreated intestine; an organ 7 meters long. The artificial stomach (NERDT), gastrointestinal system (SHIME) and laboratorium grown intestinal cells could possibly answer questions we are currently stuck with such as; how do we digest and absorb nutrients from our food? how can we maintain an optimal gut health? do probiotic drinks make sense? What should you eat for a healthy gut flora? And how can our gut cause depression?
