Norbert Sprenger

  • Senior R&D Expert in the department of Gastrointestinal Health at the Nestlé Institute of Health Sciences investigating microbiome-host interactions
  • Earned his PhD at the University of Basel (Switzerland) before continuing academic research related to functional complex glycans at the Universities of Zurich (Switzerland) and Stanford (Ca, USA)
    • Dedicated the last 22 years to applied industrial research at Nestlé Research (Switzerland), which led to major insight and patentable innovations related to milk oligosaccharides for infant nutrition
  • Publications include more than 66 peer-reviewed articles (h-index 32 in Scopus), over 65 international patent applications, and numerous presentations at international conferences and product launch/support events
  • Core research interests are focused on understanding how dietary glycans and early life nutrition through their effects on microbe-host interactions drive the development of gut health and immune competence
    • To this end "learning from nature" through the study of mother’s milk and specifically the biology of milk oligosaccharides is a central element
