Research

With a master's in Nutrition Science and a PhD in Pathology, Simone is highly interested in the complex field of Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders, specifically Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Functional Constipation (FC), and Functional Diarrhoea (FD).

She has conducted a large clinical trial on the effect of two SunGold® kiwifruit on gastrointestinal comfort and aims to analyse mRNA from colon biopsies to detect differences between FD, FC, and IBS. Furthermore, she is collaborating with Nicolas Talley from the University of Newcastle, Australia, to detect differences between these disorders through histology.
