Human Nutrition
The goal of human nutrition research is to address the global challenges of improving health and preventing chronic disease, whilst addressing food security and the need for a more environmentally sustainable food system.
The human nutrition research group have expertise in the relationships between human nutrition and human biology to design, develop, and test:
- nutrition and lifestyle interventions to identify mechanisms for improving health and preventing disease across the lifespan
- biological determinants of individual responsiveness to foods and dietary patterns (“precision nutrition”); and
- strategies to identify, measure and promote healthy and sustainable dietary patterns.
