UCDNUTRIMARKERS

We are a research group in the School of Agriculture & Food Science in University College Dublin, with links to both the Institute of Food and Health and the Conway Institute of Biomedical & Biomolecular Research... One of the main challenges in nutrition research is how to measure dietary intake. Our research programme aims to identify new biomarkers of dietary intake. This is expected to significantly impact on the nutrition field. We are also working on establishing new biomarkers of long-term dietary exposure... We aim to identify new biomarkers of disease. Examples of projects include the identification of biomarkers for the at risk mental state - in collaboration with Professor David Cotter, RCSI - and identification of biomarkers indicative of pancreatic beta cell function.
