UNH - Unité de Nutrition Humaine

Welcome 

Human Nutrition Unit (UNH) takes an integrated approach to nutrition, from the quality of foods and diets to their effects on health. The unit is under the joint supervision of INRAE and UCA, and is located on the INRAE Theix (St Genès-Champanelle) and on the site of the Faculties of Pharmacy and Medicine (Clermont-Ferrand). We have an extensive network of academic partners in France, Europe and the rest of the world.

A national infrastructure supporting an integrated approach to food

In May, CALIS (Consumer – Food – Health) was renewed on the roadmap of research infrastructures of the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research (MESR). This national infrastructure brings together the main French platforms dedicated to the integrated study of food, covering the entire “food – consumer – health” chain. By the end of 2026, CALIS will bring together 22 national platforms, involving 17 institutional supervisory bodies and partners (INRAE, INSERM, CNRS, AgroParisTech, universities, and other higher education and research institutions).
