Fiona Campbell
پژوهشگر ارشد · Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs)
University of Aberdeenمعرفی
Dr Fiona Campbell serves as an Advanced Research Fellow at the University of Aberdeen's Rowett Institute within the School of Medicine, Medical Sciences and Nutrition. She leads the Association of Nutrition (AfN) accredited MSc Human Nutrition programme and coordinates core courses including Foundations of Nutrition (RN5003) and Fundamentals of Human Nutrition and Metabolism (RN5001), while also acting as Postgraduate Exam Officer for the School.
Her academic credentials include:
- B.Sc. (Hons.) Biochemistry (1985) from the University of Aberdeen
- Ph.D. Biomedical Science and Nutrition (1998) from the University of Aberdeen, with thesis titled 'Long-chain Fatty Acid Transport by the Human Placenta: The Role of Fatty Acid-Binding Proteins'
Dr Campbell's research centers on advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) in dietary systems, investigating how Maillard reaction byproducts from processed foods contribute to type 2 diabetes and dementia through human intervention trials. Her work bridges food science and metabolic health, examining processing methods that improve food quality and phytochemical applications to mitigate negative health outcomes. Current Scottish Government (RESAS) funding supports her 'Fruit for Thought' project (NCT05513404) analyzing Scottish soft fruit nutrition.
Publication trends (2018-2022) reveal consistent focus on diet-brain interactions, with proteomic analyses of high-fat diet impacts on hippocampal and hypothalamic function, alongside clinical studies of phytochemicals like anthocyanins and cinnamon compounds. Her work spans nutrition science, biochemistry, and neuroscience methodologies.
As a Registered Nutritionist (RNutr) with the Association for Nutrition, she maintains active memberships in the Nutrition Society, Biochemical Society, and British Society for Proteome Research. Her research leadership includes Scottish Government-funded human intervention studies on dietary AGEs and metabolic health.
Based at the Rowett Institute, Dr Campbell collaborates with interdisciplinary teams through the SEFARI gateway, utilizing human clinical trials and rodent models to investigate diet-induced metabolic and cognitive changes. Her current projects emphasize translating nutritional biochemistry into practical food quality improvements.
