FFH is dedicated to interdisciplinary, basic and translational research on the relationship between nutrients, foods, dietary patterns, disease prevention, and health promotion.
The following topics are of highest priority:
- Dietary patterns, foods, and nutrients in health and disease
- The interface between diet, nutrition, and the microbiome, including fiber-containing foods
- Chemical/biochemical underpinnings of food-host interactions that influence ingestive behavior
- Food and agricultural science to develop and test novel foods and technologies that target human health outcomes
- The application of advanced statistical approaches, bioinformatics and/or machine learning for the analysis and integration of “-omics” datasets relevant to diet and health outcomes
