Nutrition

Our research is driving health and clinical impacts across the whole life course, through three key themes; starting well in life, staying healthy for longer and improving nutritional care.

Concentrating on optimisation of nutrition to prevent and understand the metabolism underpinning disease such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, a major problem in obesity.

We encourage active public participation and our innovative LifeLab educational and Southampton Initiative for Health programmes aim to promote healthy lifestyles and health literacy in school students and young mothers.
