Boris LE NEVÉ

Paris

En résumé

I am dedicated to studying the relationship between nutrition and health. Starting with a broad life sciences education in France with both academic and industrial trainings, I gained expertise level in human nutrition physiology through my PhD thesis in Germany within the European project Nusisco (nutrient sensing in satiety control and obesity). This experience also helped me to start building my international network. Today, as senior scientist and GI health strategy leader for Danone Nutricia Research, I am at the interface between the company and our international scientific collaborators. My key drivers are team working with passionate people and challenge to transform sound science into great product innovations.

Qualifications: expertise in human neurogastroenterology; gut-brain axis regulation (food intake/satiety, functional gastrointestinal disorders)

Competencies: definition of scientific strategy; global clinical development in therapeutic area of gastroenterology; key opinion leaders management; scientific project management; international profile/network (french/english/german speaker); communication and interaction skills; flexible; facilitator
