Our research team is part of the Faculty of Health Sciences at Ontario Tech University. We conduct research on nutritional interventions for chronic disease prevention (children, general population) and management. We have particular emphasis on policy, health promotion and disease management for cardiovascular diseases (hypertension, heart failure) at the individual and population level. Our research follows translational and implementation science approaches that integrate a variety of research methodologies to test hypotheses. One  focus of our research also includes creating and evaluating innovative nutritional interventions that integrate technology such as the Sodium Calculator and Foodbot Factory. We also have expertise in conducting nutrition policy and program evaluation related to population-wide dietary sodium reduction, both in Canada and internationally.
