Micronutrients
Our nutrition faculty are exploring micronutrient requirements
(especially zinc and iron) in women and infants. Currently, we are
conducting interventions which are examining the effects of nutrition
on the enteric microbiome and interventions specifically for the
prevention of micronutrient deficiencies. We also have expertise in the
development of methodology for both elemental and isotope ratio
analyses of several mineral elements. Micronutrient requirements &
deficiencies are currently being studied in Iron and Zinc
