Research Assistant @University of Roehampton

London, GB

I am currently working as a research assistant on the PreVegDiet Study, a collaborative project involving the University of Barcelona, University College Cork and the University of Roehampton (UK), funded by the NUTRIMMUNE grant under the Joint Programming Initiative “A Healthy Diet for a Healthy Life” (JPI-HDHL), supported by the Medical Research Council as part of UK Research and Innovation (MRC-UKRI).The study focuses on assessing the effects of a bioactive seaweed supplement (Ascophyllum nodosum and Fucus vesiculosus) and a Mediterranean diet on gut health, immunity and metabolic markers in pre-diabetic individuals. My role involves contributing to research aimed at understanding how these dietary interventions can strengthen immune function and reduce infection risks in pre-diabetic patients, which is highly relevant to society\'s efforts to reduce the incidence of type 2 diabetes and obesity.The outcomes of this research are expected to provide critical insights into dietary strategies that improve immunity and metabolic health, which could play an essential role in addressing public health challenges related to T2DM and obesity prevention.
