What will I learn?

We are recognised as world leaders in food colloids and diet and health. We apply fundamental scientific principles to address issues of food quality, safety and sustainability, diet quality and consumer behaviour, from food production to the consumer’s plate. Our research is supported by dedicated and experienced technical staff and first-class facilities. This allows us to scientifically develop new processes and products, and analyse the quality and composition of foods from the macro- to the nanoscale. 100% of our research has either ‘outstanding’ or ‘very considerable’ impact, according to the latest Research Excellence Framework.
