Molecular Nutrition and Metabolic Health
Nutrition, Metabolism and Disease Prevention
This theme investigates how nutrients influence metabolic regulation and health, with a focus on non-communicable diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, liver disease, and cancer. Furthermore, we focus on immunological aspects of disease prevention. Using molecular, clinical, and epidemiological approaches, we study nutrient-gene interactions, epigenetics, and the gut–metabolism axis to inform global health strategies.
Digestion, Microbiome and Gut Health
We examine the interactions between diet, digestive physiology, and the gut microbiome, focusing on their impact on systemic health and metabolic outcomes. Our research explores microbial diversity, fermentation by-products, and gut barrier function, using advanced analytical tools to develop dietary interventions that support health and resilience.
Our people
Our research academics and staff—including research fellows, research associates, and research assistants— all play a vital role in supporting and developing our work in Molecular Nutrition and Metabolic Health.
