Benoit Cudennec obtained his PhD in Marine Biotechnology and Physiology, focused on the valorization of proteins from fisheries co-products by hydrolysis and identifying bioactive peptides involved in regulating energy homeostasis. Associate professor at Lille University, he teaches biochemistry and carries out his research activity in the team “Health benefits of protein hydrolysates and agro-food co-products: production control, characterization and valorization” of the UMRT BioEcoAgro 1158. His multidisciplinary research focuses on studying specific physiological processes that lead to beneficial health effects and originate at the intestinal level following the digestion of proteins.
