- Impact of plant secondary metabolites in the prevention and/or intervention of oxidative stress and inflammation related diseases such as obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
- Contribution of metabolism, genetic variation and epigenetic factors to gene regulation
- Interactions of trace elements with redox regulated pathways
- Implementation of molecular methods in nutrition research
- CruSHH - Crustacean Shell protein-derived Peptides for Hearth Health
- SNAPP – Sustainable Nutrition for Animal Protein Productivity
