I am a licensed nutritionist and an associate professor of nutrition and public health, especially nutritional epidemiology. My main topics of interest involve the role of dietary factors in development of chronic diseases, mainly cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes and memory disorders. The study methods include both observational cohort studies and clinical trials.
