Research in Nutrition and Dietetics explores how food and nutrients impact health, influence chronic disease risks, and enhance growth and performance.
Our expertise spans nutrition education, food literacy, gut health, chronic disease management, pediatric nutrition, and dietary strategies for vascular health improvement. We partner with diverse industry stakeholders, from plant breeders to food manufacturers, to create commercially viable, health-enhancing food products. This work has gained global recognition, appearing in top-tier journals and shaping dietary policies both in Australia and abroad. Our findings actively contribute to public health initiatives promoting nutritious eating habits. While specific postgraduate research topics are tailored with advisors, we particularly welcome applicants interested in: Nutrition Education and Food Literacy; Vascular Health Nutrition Strategies; Gut Health Dietary Interventions; Chronic Disease and Clinical Nutrition; Dietetic Practice and the Nutrition Care Process; and Lifespan Nutrition Approaches.
