Biography
I am a Senior Research Fellow at the Rowett Institute, University of Aberdeen. Trained as a molecular biochemist I joined the Institute after research-based roles at the University of Würzburg, Germany and the Hannah Research Institute, Ayr, Scotland.
My main research interests are in the area of metabolic health, including obesity, cardiovascular health and diabetes. My lab investigates the potential of phytochemicals in combatting metabolic disease and the role of early life nutrition in determining life-long metabolic health consequences.
This research can inform the food industry how their products can be made healthier by addition of natural bioactive substances, and inform the breeding of novel plant varieties with improved metabolic health benefits.
