Luis Agellon

Luis Agellon serves as a Professor in the Department of Human Nutrition within the School of Human Nutrition at McGill University's Macdonald Campus. His academic work focuses on advancing human nutrition science through interdisciplinary research integrating food systems, health outcomes, and molecular mechanisms under the One Health framework.

His research expertise spans food security, nutrient diversity, and metabolic health, with specialized focus on nutrigenomics and nutrigenetics. He employs transgenic and gene-disrupted mouse models to investigate lipid and bile acid metabolism, nuclear receptor function, and gene expression patterns in human disease contexts. His work bridges molecular nutrition with public health applications to develop safer and more nutritious food supplies.
