Can you imagine a future where you wake up feeling your best and ready to tackle the new day knowing that your nutritional needs are met?

Our scientists and engineers at CSIRO are working towards this future where food, nutraceuticals and other produces will be personalised based on an individual’s genetic makeup, and a reality where optimum well being for each person is a reality.

We are building the underpinning science required to:

  • Develop a personalised and instant food processor; providing the  smart, structured soft materials (food and cosmetics) on demand and personalised for you on the day.
  • Incorporate sensor technologies that measure food-body and cosmetic-body interactions and couple with personalised genomics and phenotype (lifestyle) data.

This test bed is led by Amy Logan and Ingrid Appelqvist from CSIRO’s Agriculture and Food business unit at  Werribee and is a collaboration by staff from CSIRO Agriculture and Food, Data61 and Manufacturing business units.
