About us
The Centre is dedicated to advancing knowledge and understanding in the realms of nutrition, health behaviour, well-being, mental health, sport, and physical activity. Our commitment is rooted in a holistic perspective, recognising the interconnectedness of various factors contributing to overall well-being. We aim to bridge the gap between research and practical application, fostering a healthier society through evidence-based insights.
Our focus is in advancing global health and well-being, by:
- addressing global diet-related challenges such as overweight and obesity, enhancing glycaemic control, and mitigating inflammation in order to positively impact the overall health of populations worldwide.
- examining the effectiveness and consequences of preventive initiatives for physical and psychological health.
- exploring the well-being of individuals engaged in activities ranging from grassroots sport and physical activities to high-performance levels.
