Nutrition research hub launched

1 min read Diet and nutrition
A new £1.6 million innovation hub led by the University of Southampton has been tasked with transforming the nutritional quality of food and drink sold in the UK. It will bring together leading researchers, industry experts and other stakeholders to develop more healthy eating options for consumers.

The new Diet and Health Innovation Hub is one of six across the country, totalling almost £15 million of investment from the UK’s Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) in partnership with the Medical Research Council (MRC), Innovate UK and DEFRA.

The Southampton-led hub is a collaboration with the Universities of Cambridge, Leeds and Reading and Quadram Institute Biosciences in Norwich. It will foster industry collaboration and generate new research evidence that will inform healthy diets and the development of healthier foods and beverages.

The hub will focus on the role of good nutrition in promoting early-life development, supporting body and brain function and resilience from adolescence into adulthood, and contributing to healthy ageing in later life.
