Centre for Nutrition
The Centre for Nutrition is a research centre at the Department of Medicine (MedH), Campus Flemingsberg. It explores how diet composition, dietary regimes, and nutritional supplements can be used to improve human health and longevity.
Goals - Centre for nutrition
- Establish a leading research centre of excellence in translational research in nutrition, metabolism and disease prevention.
- Bringing together several strong research groups covering basic experimental science to interventional and epidemiological research.
- Enable and stimulate sharing of expertise and knowledge for research as well as education.
- Being a green house for junior researchers to develop their own independent research profile.
- Create a platform for collaborations and joint funding applications related to nutrition and metabolism.
The steering group for the Centre for Nutrition consists of:
Janne Johansson, Thomas Tinglöv, Marie Löf (coordinator), Christian Riedel (co-coordinator) and Federico Pietrocola.
