Professor Sue Lanham-New (centre) and the staff from Nutritional Sciences


Asked what is behind her Department’s far-reaching impact across both research and teaching, Professor Lanham-New says:


I think it’s the community we’ve created here and the collaborative nature of the campus. Staff are very committed to students, and students really feel that they always have a home with us, even after they graduate – we are always delighted to see them and hear about their achievements.


Having won the Queen’s Anniversary Prize, the Department of Nutritional Sciences has set its sights firmly on the next challenges. “Our next big drive is to try and raise funds for a Food Innovation Centre from which we could offer healthy eating demonstrations for the general population,” explains Professor Lanham-New. “We’d like to put more force behind our public engagement work and bring in local schools, working particularly with children from low-income families.


“We live in a world where half the population dies because it doesn’t eat enough and the other half dies because it eats too much. In the 21st century we still have people who go hungry while so much food is wasted. Addressing that imbalance is what will continue to spur us on.”
