Institution
Section overview
Description
United research competence at the interface of Food Science, Nutrition and Health (Z I E L) is an in 2003 founded Research center in Nutrition and Food science established at the Technische Universität München. It is science-driven and provides a unique spectrum of knowledge, technologies and infrastructure for conducting research on food and nutrition targeted at assessing the safety and for improvement in the quality of food products for the sake of disease prevention and the improvement of consumer health. Z I E L is located at the Campus of the Center of Life and Food Sciences Weihenstephan in Freising-Weihenstephan.
