UCC scientists follow gut instinct to win recognition

IRISH scientists have known in their gut that they’re good at their jobs but now a group of them have international recognition of the fact.

The scientists, based at UCC, have been lauded for their work in alimentary pharmabiotics, in other words, gut health, and the products that boost it.

Their work at the Alimentary Pharmabiotic Centre (APC) has earned UCC a number two rating in the world for research in this expanding field, according to the scientific international ratings agency, Thomson Reuters Science Watch.
