Many congratulations to Helen on her appointment.
💙💛 Our warmest congratulations to UCD Professor Helen Roche on her appointment to the Board of the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) by The Minister for Health, Jennifer Carroll MacNeill TD.
As a Full Professor of Nutrigenomics, Helen's expertise bridges disciplines at both the UCD Conway Institute, where she is the director, and the UCD Institute of Food and Health.
At the European level, Professor Roche has chaired and advised on several major initiatives in Food, Nutrition, and Health. Her research continues to be supported by Science Foundation Ireland, the EU Joint Programming Initiative, and Precision Oncology Ireland.
Professor Roche’s research team is funded by several agencies. She is co-PI in Precision Oncology Ireland (POI), where Roche’s team is investigating whether and how the ‘dietary environment’ influences obesity-related cancer risk. The ongoing research, part of the EU Healthy Diet for a Healthy Life (HDHL) Joint Programming Initiative (HDHL JPI), funded by the APPETITE Project, is examining the impact of personalised plant protein and exercise interventions on appetite and malnutrition in older people.View quoted post on X
