معرفی
Dr Rona Antoni is a Research Fellow in Nutritional Metabolism at the University of Surrey. She holds a BSc (Hons) Nutrition and Dietetics (2012) and a PhD in Nutritional Sciences from the University of Surrey. Her work bridges clinical practice and research, having worked part-time as a diabetes specialist dietitian in the NHS while completing her PhD.
Her research focuses on metabolic effects of dietary interventions such as intermittent fasting (including 5:2 diet and time-restricted feeding), with particular emphasis on postprandial metabolism. She currently leads a BBSRC-funded study investigating biological mechanisms behind individual variability in LDL-cholesterol responses to saturated fat, employing advanced techniques like stable isotopes, gut microbiota analysis (ISH/NGS), and metabolomics to identify predictive biomarkers.
Her expertise spans clinical nutrition, metabolic physiology, and translational research. Key research themes include saturated fat metabolism, intestinal absorption dynamics, and personalized nutrition strategies based on metabolic responsiveness.
