Feeding our curiosity
Our diets affect us in countless different ways, from health and wellbeing to productivity and lifestyle.
Researchers in our Department of Nutrition and Metabolism are key members of multidisciplinary international collaborations investigating cardiovascular health, diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, sleep and environmental health.
They have made important breakthroughs in a number of key genetic and environmental disease factors, and in socio-cultural factors affecting human health. Nutritional science is so highly regarded at Surrey that postgraduate researchers from this discipline have won our Research Student of the Year award twice in the past three years.
