Instructor

Professor Anne-Marie Minihane is Professor of Nutrigenetics and Head of Nutrition and Preventive Medicine in Norwich Medical School, UEA, UK. The groups research programme investigates the impact of dietary components (marine omega-3- fatty acids and a Mediterranean-style dietary pattern) and APOE genotype on cardiovascular and cognitive health. A particular focus is the molecular and physiological basis for the interactive impact of menopause and an APOE4 genotype (25% of the UK population) on neuropathology and overall brain health and examining the ability of the omega-3 fatty acid DHA to mitigate the accelerated brain ageing in APOE4 females.
In addition, at UEA, Anne Marie contributes to the teaching of the Medical and Bioscience students, in the area of nutrition and disease prevention and therapeutics. She is a member of external editorial and commercial advisory roles and is part of the international group developing CONSORT-Nutrition guidelines. When away from science she enjoys the outdoors, and in particular running, good food, social and historical fiction, and travel and its planning.
