Biography

She obtained my PhD from Imperial College, London in 2000, supervised by Professor Jeremy Nicholson.  Following this, she took the opportunity to move to the Netherlands where she worked as a post-doctoral research fellow for Unilever. Within this project, NMR spectroscopy, comprehensive chromatography methods and mass spectrometry were combined with advanced hemometric methodologies for analyzing biological samples, in order to study the correlationbetween metabolic responses of consumers and health effects of Functional Food ingredients. Shelater moved to the Netherlands largest contract research organization, TNO Food and Nutrition where she was employed as Project Leader Metabolomics. In September 2004, she was appointed as a Lecturer in the School of Pharmacy, University of Nottingham, where she have established NMR spectroscopy-based metabolomics research at the University.

Research Interest

Her primary research objective is the development and implementation of metabolomic methodology with the majority of my research projects focusing on the application of metabolomics for clinical studies into disease biomarker discovery, study of subtle metabolic changes such as health benefits of nutraceuticals, functional foods and dietary supplements and study of metabolite interactions and dynamics.
