Undergraduate and MSc Research
Undergraduate and postgraduate students engage in the following research projects:
- systematic reviews of the literature on nutritional interventions and pathophysiological mechanism of disease;
- meta-analysis of Randomised Controlled Trials;
- validation of clinical questionnaires;
- analysis of human data relevant to personalised nutrition;
- qualitative research on the client experience of personalised nutrition and health coaching.
We aim to maximise the number of publications in high impact journals emanating from student research to help support this developing field.
