I am a Principle Investigator studying how genetics and gut-brain signalling shape food preference, appetite, and GI and metabolic health. My lab works across Drosophila and human models to identify novel targets for metabolic disease, obesity and GI disorders. I lead CHOICES, a prospective cohort integrating supermarket loyalty card data, continuous glucose monitoring, gut biomarkers, and genomics to understand how individual variation in digestive capacity drives real-world dietary behaviour and disease risk. For industry, I offer expertise in dietary phenotyping at scale, biomarker discovery for metabolic and GI conditions, and translational validation of nutritional and pharmacological interventions.
