My previous research has focused on dietary fibre, whole grains, seaweeds and their potential impacts on parameters of cardiovascular, metabolic and gastrointestinal health. This work has included the design and management of randomised, controlled trials, cross-sectional studies in infants, children and young adults, laboratory modelling of gastrointestinal function, and studies related to digestive enzyme detection and activity. A number of projects I have worked on have been supported by approaches to define or assess dietary "idealness" in different contexts. This includes evaluation of the quality of foods served at schools and Holiday Activity and Food (HAF) programmes in the UK. I also have significant experience in project related to international health claims frameworks.
I have collaborated with pharmaceutical, food and biotechnology industry partners throughout his career. I have successfully supervised 7 PhD students to completion and has research collaborations and networks in Europe and Southeast Asia.
