I lead the FIO Food research project, funded by UKR (BB/W018020/1), where there is a retailer project partner, to address inequalities in healthy and sustainable eating in people living with obesity. I also lead the DIO Food project, also funded by UKRI, with other UK retailers involved in data analysis and consumer trend reporting around HFSS purchase patterns. I currently hold one personal contract research award, which is to provide nutrition advice for a local catering service provider in Scotland.
