Novel proteins, peptides and amino acids with health benefits

Novel Proteins, Peptides, and Amino Acids with Health Benefits. Seeking innovative proteins, peptides, and amino acids with health benefits to enhance wellness through nutritional supplements and consumer health products.

What we are looking for:

Highly effective, bioavailable proteins, peptides, and amino acids with proven health benefits, suitable for integration into over-the-counter nutritional supplements to support consumer wellness.

Must have Requirements are:

• Demonstrated health benefits (e.g., immune support, muscle recovery, cognitive enhancement).
• High bioavailability and stability in various formulations.
• Safe for consumption with regulatory compliance (e.g., GRAS status).

Nice-to-have requirements are:

• Derived from sustainable or natural sources.
• Supported by clinical or pre-clinical data.
• Scalable and cost-effective production methods.
• Unique mechanisms of action for differentiated benefits.

Out of scope:

• Non-protein, peptide, or amino acid based compounds.
• Applications outside consumer health and nutritional support.
• Synthetic chemicals without health benefits or natural analogs.

Please note: Faculty and researchers interested in applying for these opportunities based on technologies developed or disclosed at Vanderbilt must submit their proposals through the CTTC.
