Microbes (e.g., bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi) can become resistant to clinical or veterinary drugs (antimicrobials) that are used to treat disease. This has major consequences for how microbial diseases are managed and, therefore, how antimicrobial compounds should be used. Measuring antimicrobial usage (AMU) is a way to monitor the amount of medicines/chemicals that enter the food-chain, and the environment and this could help to reduce antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This project, funded by the SEFARI Gateway, focused on the use of antimicrobials in livestock production, where it
A briefing, by Benjamin JJ McCormick (a SEFARI Gateway Fellow), outlining his project on 'estimating the nutrient value of agricultural products'.
The research of Jules Griffin and his team focuses on the application of analytical chemistry to study metabolism and nutrition in metabolic diseases. His group has developed and applied metabolomics and lipidomics tools to investigate aspects of the metabolic syndrome and how nutrition interacts with health across the life course. This has included studies based on cell culture, model organisms, human diet intervention studies and epidemiology. In addition, they have applied these metabolomic and lipidomic tools for food safety and toxicology. Jules joined the Rowett Institute as Director in
Oana is currently a research fellow at the Rowett Institute, working on a project in the 2022-27 SRP that is aiming to optimise approaches to changing food practices and eating behaviour in low-income populations via social prescribing to reduce health inequalities. She has extensive knowledge of behaviour change theories, intervention development, experience in developing assessment tools and research experience demonstrating cross-disciplinary integration. From 2012 to 2021, she worked on a series of research grants on health topics (e.g., prevention of child mental health problems and risk
BioSS are pleased to announce the appointment of Katherine Whyte as one of the three William Guy Lecturers for 2023-24. The RSS William Guy Lecturers are prestigious volunteer roles intended to celebrate the importance of engaging with schools and inspiring children about statistics from an early age. They are named in honour of William Augustus Guy, an early medical statistician and past RSS president. Three William Guy Lecturers are appointed for every academic year. Each lecturer prepares and records a talk for a particular key stage (primary, secondary and sixth form). This year the
SEFARI Gateway is delighted to provide support for a new Fellowship with the Food Farming and Countryside Commission (FFCC) and the North Highland Initiative (NHI), Scottish Crofting Federation (SCF) and Scottish Agricultural Organisation Society (SAOS) on quantifying 'Ag of the middle' in the North Highlands of Scotland. Background The Food, Farming and Countryside Commission (FFCC) is a UK registered charity (1195790) that focusses on food and farming, climate, nature and the public’s health, for a just transition to a greener, fairer world. With partners across the UK in governments

Magaly is a research fellow at the Rowett Institute with expertise and interest in nutritional interventions, healthy lifestyles, and health policies for building a better and sustainable future. She is very interested in using data and new technologies (such as Artificial Intelligence) to drive innovation in nutrition and health. She uses nutrition-relevant data and meta-data to frame knowledge and enhance understanding of current nutritional problems and environmental sustainability challenges and looks to communicate and inform citizens and policy effectively. During her career, she has
