The TIM® Digest: Q3-2026

Summer may be over, but there’s still plenty to digest!

Q3 brought new publications featuring the TIM® Platform, an interesting case exploring enzymes, and a look back at our summer team activities on the beach. We also opened our doors during Weekend van de Wetenschap and finally…. a date for the Klokhuis episode!
This is your TIM® Digest, keeping you up to date on all things TIM® and beyond!

Recent Publications

More research, more insights! Four new publications featureing the TIM® Platform have been published this quarter: two on TIM Colon and two on TIM Upper GI. The topics are divers, from testing sweetners and evaluating lipid-based formulations to exploring how TIM® supported a clinical trial study!

InnoGI opens its doors

What a day! On October 3rd, we opened our doors for Weekend van de Wetenschap (Weekend of Science), a Dutch nationwide event where science and technology companies and institutes invite the public behind the scenes to discover what they do. The event is especially aimed at children, but experience shows that curiosity has no age limit!.

We welcomed lots of curious visitors, friends, family and future scientists who explored our systems, learned more about the gastro-intestinal tract, and discovered what we do at InnoGI.

They used LEGO to recreate the gut microbiome and learned how antibiotics and probiotics can affect our tiny microbial neighbours and experimented with milk, fats and water to see what happens in the stomach when they mix. There was plenty to see, try and talk about. A big thank-you to everyone who came to explore with us!

InnoGI team activity

One of the hottest weeks of the summer called for one thing: a trip to the beach! The InnoGI team headed to Kijkduin for a beach edition of the Dutch game De Alleskunner, putting our skills to the test in a series of fun and unexpected challenges.

It turns out we’re pretty good at in vitro GI modeling… but we can’t be experts at everything! 🙂

We spent the afternoon laughing, competing and enjoying a delicious BBQ by the sea before heading off for a well-earned summer break.

There is always More to Digest

The team from Het Klokhuis visited our lab to film an episode all about carbohydrates!
The series kicks off on 22 October at 18:40 on NPO/Zapp, with the TIM® Platform taking the spotlight in episode 3 on November 5th. Keep an eye out for some science on screen!

Also an interesting case on digestion of enzyme supplements. TIM Upper GI was used to assess the carbohydrate digestion in food and the potential benefits of enzyme supplements in poultry. TIM® succefully predicted the effect succefully. Read more in the full case.

We hope you enjoy reading this edition of the TIM® Digest. As always, to stay up to date on our latest innovations, publications, and upcoming events, we invite you to follow us on LinkedIn.
