My work concerns molecular aspects of Human Nutrition and Health, focusing specifically on metabolic disease, diabetes and neurodegenerative disease. I investigate metabolites (human and dietary) to answer fundamental biological questions.

The aims are to discover:

  • metabolite (metabolomic) signatures of human disease and human dietary patterns?
  • the nutritive and non-nutritive benefits which can be harnessed from the metabolites and components of our diet?

Research Interests

Open to PhD applications in the field of

  • High resolution LC-MS/MS metabolite profiling of novel animal model of ageing and dementia
  • Discovery of novel metabolomic biomarkers indicating risk of delirium or cognitive decline
  • Food and plant bioactives with therapeutic actions in diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease
