My research interests lie in evaluating the relationships between diet, health, and wellbeing, using clinical trials, cellular models and secondary population data within a translational framework. Key examples include:
- Macro and microeconomic drivers of nutrition and health security
- Soft fruit consumption, cardio-metabolic risk, and heart health
- Fruit and vegetable intake and heart health
- Plant-based diets and immune function
- Antioxidant responses of plant-based diets to physiological stress
