Research
The Bristol NIHR Nutrition Biomedical Research Unit (BRU) is set
up to perform patient-focused, early phase experimental clinical
research in priority areas of human nutrition, diet and
lifestyle.
Our aim is to develop interventions to improve the health of
people with conditions related to, or compromised by, poor
nutrition.
Our specific work areas focus on:
- Optimising nutrition to improve the health of children with
chronic disorders
- Nutrition and lifestyle interventions in men with prostate
cancer
- Optimising nutrition in patients undergoing surgery or other
major hospital treatment
- Developing interventions to reduce sedentary time in people
with Type 2 diabetes
