It is well known that a healthy, balanced diet is essential for good health. Thus, the risk of developing numerous diseases could be reduced by complying with nutritional guidelines. Based on multiple scientific studies, these guidelines evolve as new knowledge is acquired.
The Roquette Foundation encourages medical research to prevent, cure and avoid the spread of diseases and thus contribute to the good health of women and men throughout the world. This is why, in 2020, the Foundation launched its first Research Award in France.
Aimed at young researchers, this Award supported medical research around an essential theme: prevention in health.
Encouraging innovation also means supporting the quest of committed researchers and their projects.
