Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism
We aim to increase our knowledge about the role of diet and nutrition in the prevention and treatment of cardiometabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, fatty liver (MASLD), obesity and cardiovascular disease.
Beskrivning
The overarching goal of our research is to understand how the food we eat affects our cardiometabolic health, focusing on type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and cardiovascular disease. We have extensive experience conducting both randomized clinical dietary studies and prospective population studies, with a specific emphasis on fatty acids and dietary biomarkers. Our research aims to improve preventive strategies and contribute to new knowledge on how various dietary components and patterns can be used to optimize the treatment of conditions like NAFLD and type 2 diabetes. Precision nutrition is also an area where we have ongoing research with significant clinical potential.
