Teaching

In the Bachelor's degree program, the department represents the field of general nutritional science in teaching. The Master's modules focus on nutrition-related molecular mechanisms, the influence and mode of action of genetic, nutritional and lifestyle-related risk factors for nutrition-related diseases, as well as the teaching of methodological skills to investigate issues in this field.

BioBank

Development of a biobank

collaboration with Dr. med. Matthias Raggi, Karl-Olga-Krankenhaus, Adipositaszentrum Stuttgart.

In the search for the causes of complex diseases, samples and data from biobanks are an enormously important source. We are therefore dedicated to establishing a scientific collection of samples of human adipose tissue (subcutaneous and visceral) for biomedical research purposes - also known as a biobank.

The biobank opens up the possibility of linking information obtained from scientific studies of these samples with data on the clinical course of diseases. In addition, it is hoped that they can make a significant contribution to the development of new diagnostic procedures and therapies.

EaTSANE
Education and Training for Sustainable Agriculture and Nutrition in East Africa

- - -

This international interdisciplinary research project aims to implement sustainable farming practices and improve diets in Kenya and Uganda by diversifying the food system with a participatory action learning approach.

The project’s specific objectives are​

  • identifying and promoting improved farming practices for healthier soils and production of more diverse, nutritious crops;

  • improving access of value chain actors to inputs and services, their links and reducing food losses through improved handling and processing practices; and

  • enhancing consumers’ food culture, resulting in healthier diets and more equitable distribution of food in households.
