Arthur van Zanten

Arthur van Zanten is a Professor in Nutritional Biology, focusing on clinical nutrition in critical care settings. His research emphasizes nutritional strategies for ICU survivors, protein and energy metabolism, and metabolic complications in hospitalized patients. He supervises multiple PhD candidates exploring topics like neuromuscular electrical stimulation combined with nutrition, post-ICU rehabilitation, and personalized nutrition in critical illness.

Key research interests include optimizing nutritional protocols for ICU patients, evaluating meal consumption through digital tools, and addressing micronutrient deficiencies. His work integrates systematic reviews, randomized controlled trials, and collaborative projects to advance clinical nutrition practices.

Notable projects include investigating phosphate and calcium homeostasis in critical illness and developing personalized nutrition strategies for convalescence. His contributions have been featured in journals like Clinical Nutrition ESPEN and Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition.

Van Zanten collaborates with institutions on metabolic research and has advised 5 PhD candidates. His expertise bridges nutritional science with clinical recovery, aiming to reduce complications and improve outcomes for critically ill patients.
