About Us
The Department of Nutrition and Metabolism aim is to understand human metabolic demands for nutrients and to optimise their provision as safe and appropriate food.
We contribute to the Faculty’s teaching programmes in nutrition, dietetics, food science, biochemistry and molecular biology at undergraduate and postgraduate level.
The Department is engaged with research to understand the influence of genotype and phenotype on metabolic responses to diet in health and disease, to improve the strategic management of diet throughout the life cycle and to identify the factors which influence the palatability and safety of food.
