Understanding determinants of nutritional status (e.g. inflammation, exercise, restrictive diets)
Nutritional assessment method development (e.g. condition-specific assessment tools)
Dietary pattern analysis
My current research interests include: understanding the determinants of nutritional status (e.g. inflammation, exercise, restrictive diets), especially with respect to iron and folate status; improving tools used in nutrition assessment (e.g. disease-specific diet assessment tools and novel dietary pattern analyses); with the aim of employing these new tools in better understanding key determinants of health in populations.
