science


It is important to put forth effort in scientific work. Only continual science is going to create progress in the healthcare sector.
I believe my group is currently the leading, strongest and most productive group in the critically important area of paediatric nutrition research in Europe, and among the top groups in this field globally. We have a large and truly multidisciplinary research team of about 40 most talented and enthusiastic colleagues, enjoy strong local, national and international research collaborations, develop exciting, creative ideas and projects, and benefit from good funding (>20 Mio. € grant funding since 2005).  
Following I will give you an insight into my most important scientific achievements, my main research and the link to my fully published articles.
