ABOUT M. GULREZ ZARIWALA
I am a research academic with a strong focus on innovation and translation of research outcomes.Areas of focus are nutraceuticals, functional foods and supplements – micro/nano formulations for enhanced absorption and activity of bioactives, and in vitro and human clinical studies for understanding mechanisms of action and efficacy validation. I have a proven track record in science-based nutraceutical new product development and product validation via in vitro and human studies. Past projects include a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) project that helped develop the UK’s top selling liquid iron supplement product now marketed in 40+ countries worldwide. Current projects include collaborative research with world leaders in nutrition supplements and ingredients as well as small and medium companies. My recent outputs include development of a range of high-performance wellness and sports supplement products that was launched worldwide in partnership with the international footballers Mathieu Flamini and Mesut Ozil.My academic research spans the areas of obesity, type 2 diabetes, satiety and neurodegeneration. I lead a research team of over 20 researchers working on projects funded by UK and overseas organisations. Originally a Pharmacy graduate, I went on to read an MSc in Drug Delivery at UCL School of Pharmacy and a PhD in Diabetes and Metabolic Medicine at Queen Mary, University of London. I have published 70+ research articles, abstracts, and book chapters and am established as one of the leaders in the field of oral iron supplement research.
