Course summary

Lifestyle-related diseases such as obesity, cancer and metabolic diseases represent a global challenge to human health and wellbeing. Our research focuses on the relationship between the food we eat and the risk of obesity and chronic diseases such as non-alcoholic fatty liver, cardiovascular disease and cancer. These complex disorders are difficult to treat effectively, and are increasingly prevalent as sedentary lifestyles and calorie-rich, nutrient-poor diets cause an obesity crisis throughout the developed world.We apply a variety of modern molecular, cellular biology techniques to study the mechanisms by which nutrients affect cell function and metabolism at the organ, cellular and molecular levels. We investigate nutrient-disease interactions at the cellular level with the aim of exploring and understanding the links between diet and disease, and developing strategies that will help ensure healthier and more nutritious food for all.
