The overarching theme of the school's nutritional sciences research group is the scientific understanding and improvement of nutrition for both humans and animals.

The main areas of research include:

  • Population based studies to assess nutrient status and health including areas like for example, dietary choice impacts, financial impacts, and effects of nutrition on fertility, pregnancy, and early infant outcomes
  • Diet-health interactions in humans, including nutrient-gene interactions, cohort analysis and interventions, MRI imaging, and the influence of health and disease(s) such as obesity and diabetes on digestive process and nutrient utilisation
  • Sustainable nutrition. The identification of novel protein sources for human and animal nutrition, mineral nutrition, and novel carbohydrates sources
  • Nutritional enhancement of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins to enhance food quality,
  • Food analysis and authentication (micronutrient assessment, allergenicity and novel routes of exposure, proximate analysis, food bioactives, metabolomics)
  • The effect of dietary components (fatty acids, proteins, micronutrient and antioxidants) on health and disease processes
  • Gastrointestinal models of nutrient bioavailability and utilisation
  • The molecular basis of nutrient signalling
