We are delighted to have as our special local guest speaker:
Dr Paul Kroon is leader of the Polyphenols and Health Group at the Quadram Institute (formerly the Institute of Food Research). His research focusses on understa
nding the mechanisms by which dietary polyphenols are absorbed and exert health benefits. This knowledge is also used to inform the development of foods with health benefits that are supported by scientific evidence.
Dr Kroon coordinated the EU FP7 BACCHUS project that focussed on developing the science to support health claims for food products containing bioactive peptides and polyphenols (http://www.bacchus-fp7.eu/) and currently leads the EU EIT-Food PERNUG project, and has been a partner in several other European projects including FP6-FLAVO, FP6-BaSeFood, FP7-ATHENA, the JPI-Healthy Diet for a Healthy Life project MaPLE and H2020 twinning project PhenolAcTwin with the TUBITAK institute. He organised the successful 1st International Conference on Food Bioactives and Health (September 2016) and Bioavailability 2018 conferences in Norwich. He is an editor for the Mol Nutr Food Res and Nutrire journals and has published more than 200 refereed publications.
