She obtained her PhD in Biochemistry from Imperial College London (UK). Her research interfaces analytical chemistry with microbiology and nutrition and applies ‘omics technologies coupled with bio/chemoinformatics data analysis, for functional assessment of the human microbiota and to gain better insight into host-gut microbiota interactions. Dr. Wijeyesekera joined the ISAPP Board of Directors in 2021. She is also a member of the Academic Board for the…
NAD+ has gotten a lot of hype for its potential to lower inflammation, improve cognitive function, lower the risk of type 2 diabetes and blood pressure issues, and repair the skin.“There’s a lot of interest and promise in boosting NAD+ because of the research that’s been done in animal models, but the human research hasn’t been as exciting,” Craighead says. “A lot of the studies done with people have been small and for a short duration, and we’re still waiting for bigger studies to come out and provide definitive proof.”Research involves NAD+ precursors (or molecules the body uses to make…

Pfizer has agreed to acquire Metsera for up to $7.3 billion, the companies said, in a deal that returns the pharma giant to the obesity and metabolic drug space from which it retreated this past spring following a clinical setback. Pfizer effectively exited the next-gen obesity drug scramble in April when it halted development of danuglipron (PF-06882961). The company acted after a single patient treated with the once-daily oral chronic weight management therapy candidate in one of two Phase III dose optimization studies (NCT06568731 and NCT06567327) developed what Pfizer called a “potential drug-induced liver injury which resolved after discontinuation of…

Myoform was founded by Theo Wiley and Sacha Attiach and has been building over the past three years. “The difference between what we do with Myoform [and others in the personalized nutrition space] is threefold,” Wiley told NutraIngredients. “One is from a testing perspective. Off the bat, we use what’s called whole genome sequencing […], we look at 100% of the genome. Customers get insights effectively for life, and it’s the last genetic test that they’ll need to do.”“We then take all of that data and we have an online platform that we built from scratch that analyzes all of…

Nature Video 22 September 2025 Measurements show how flat this reflective lake in Bolivia really is, despite the wind blowing across it.
At next month’s CPHI trade show in Frankfurt, Germany, Sirio will unveil an expanded range of gummy supplements, X Mg, featuring magnesium. With six products, the range reflects magnesium’s well-known wellness benefits, such as exercise performance and recovery, sleep, and relaxation. One, in particular, touts a “formulation breakthrough.” Citing Innova Market Insights data, Sirio says that demand for magnesium bisglycinate rose by nearly 40% between 2021 and 2025. This is a highly absorbable form of the mineral in salt form. Although magnesium demand is strong, consumers also struggle to find the mineral’s most effective forms due to the wide range…
