Nutrition Research (I-PAN). Her research primarily centres on nutrition
related to hypertension and bone health and optimising health with ageing. Her
research in ageing has assessed the combination of both exercise and improved
nutrition. Recently she has focused on advocating for public health and policy
interventions to reduce population salt intake and maintaining adequate
vitamin D status at the population level. She is also developing resources,
and networks to effectively embed nutrition into medical education and has
strong collaborative links in this area with researchers in both the US and
