Bringing extensive experience in nutrition and life sciences to the table, Dr Castle will head up the active healthcare professional engagement programme at Clasado. Aiming to create a stronger foundation of gut health knowledge across the UK healthcare market, the business partners with dietitians, nutritionists, general practitioners and academic institutions to share greater insight into contemporary gut health studies and demonstrate the important links between the gut microbiome and physical and mental health.
As well as continuing to foster strong relationships with the medical and clinical care community and delivering insightful presentations on gut health, Dr Castle will also be responsible for guiding the company’s HCP communications. This includes its dedicated online content platform for healthcare professionals, the Learning Hub and the HCP newsletter.
Per Rehné, CEO at Clasado Biosciences, commented: “We’re extremely proud of our active HCP engagement platform and are equally delighted to welcome Dr Castle to our team. Sophie brings a great deal of experience, including academics positions and positions at research analyst business RSSL and PepsiCo. She is primed to help us amplify the key gut health messages that healthcare professionals need and to support us in building a more robust knowledge base in microbiome science.”
Commenting on her appointment, Dr Castle said: “I’m delighted to join the Clasado team at a very exciting time as the business continues to grow and develop internationally. Through the evolution of its award-winning prebiotic galactooligosaccharide (GOS) ingredient Bimuno®, Clasado has helped to generate real insight into the gut microbiome and its influence on health and wellbeing. I’m looking forward to taking these studies and translating the results into actionable real-world knowledge for healthcare professionals, as well as helping to create stronger understanding of digestive health as a whole.
“It’s clear that as the studies behind Bimuno’s safety and efficacy grow, the potential role for prebiotics as a health intervention also increases. I’ll be helping HCPs and academics get to grips with the connections between diet and health, as well as showcasing where the future of health and wellbeing might lie.”
