François-Pierre Martin , Ph.D., Eng., is Senior Scientist and Research Program
Manager in the Department of Molecular Biomarkers, at the Nestlé Institute of
Health Sciences, Lausanne, Switzerland. He received his Ph.D. in Biochemistry

and Metabonomics from Imperial College London, UK, in 2006, and has a back-
ground in biotechnology and microbiology from the engineering school Polytech-
Marseille, France. From 2006 to 2012, François-Pierre has developed and expanded

metabonomics applications to nutrition and gut microbiota research for health and
disease management, at the Nestlé Research Center, Switzerland. Emphasis was
given to investigate transgenomic interactions between the mammalian and the gut
microbial metabolic space using systems biology. Dr. Martin has developed a
strong expertise in investigating gut microbial effects on diverse mammalian
processes and their impact upon the etiology of several conditions (gastrointestinal
health, diabetes, obesity). In July 2012,
