CNELM launched the Personalised Nutrition Institute (PNI) in September 2022. The launch coincided with CNELM’s 21st Anniversary Conference, which showcased recent staff and student research and academic book publications.

The mission of the CNELM PNI is to facilitate the development of Evidence-Based approaches to Personalised Nutrition and Coaching practice. Our particular focus is on research that uses machine learning and AI to integrate Personalised Pathophysiological Reasoning (PPR) into Clinical Epidemiological Study designs. 

To achieve this, our staff and students engage in research that supports both current Personalised Pathophysiological Reasoning based approaches to Personalised Nutrition, and evidence-based machine learning supported Personalised Pathophysiological Reasoning approaches to Personalised Nutrition. We have a particular commitment, and strong track record, of publishing student research in high impact journals.

Our aim is to build bridges between academic disciplines: bringing together computer science, machine learning, cognitive science and systems biology with nutritional science and clinical epidemiology.

The PNI’s remit is to study the following areas:
