Description:
We offer a range of PhD opportunities in the School of Food and Nutrition.
The Nutrition and Public Health group is a research-intensive group, led by Professor Janet Cade, which strives (both independently and collaboratively) to create, advance and disseminate nutrition research to make an impact on population health.
Our research aims are:
