Nutritional epidemiology
The Nutritional Epidemiology research line uses population‑based studies and methodological innovation to investigate how diet influences health. Its findings support evidence‑based public health and personalised nutrition. In close integration with the Molecular Epidemiology research line, it leverages omics technologies to reveal how nutrition shapes biological processes and human health.
Research Activities
Studying the dietary patterns and lifestyle behaviors of large cohorts of people of various ages and from different regions, and to analyze how these factors influence their health.
Development of metabolomic profiles that capture food‑specific metabolites and broader dietary patterns to identify objective biomarkers that accurately reflect nutrient intake and metabolic interactions.
Enhance dietary research by improving digital data‑collection tools, refining analytical methods, and developing robust techniques to handle challenges like missing questionnaire responses.
