The Human Nutrition Research Group addresses global health challenges by exploring how diet and lifestyle interventions influence physiological mechanisms to improve health and reduce chronic disease, whilst promoting an environmentally sustainable food system.
Our expertise includes designing and testing nutrition interventions, investigating biological determinants of individual responsiveness to diet, promoting healthy and sustainable dietary patterns, and translating findings into evidence-based practices.
