Biography
I am a human nutritionist and food toxicologist and my research interests focus on diet, intestinal toxicity and the role of gut microbiota. My research looks at important food contaminants and I aim to assess human exposure and identify potential risks to human health. As these food contaminants derive from primary agricultural production I also work closely with producers as well as Food Standards Scotland to understand routes of contamination and identify strategies to minimize risk and produce safe and healthy food.
