Using genetics to find links between diet and disease - Bristol Biomedical Research Centre Understanding how diet affects our long-term health is a major challenge in nutrition research. Randomised controlled trials are considered the best way to test cause-and-effect relationships. In this...

📢 New project! How does diet relate to disease?

🧬This project will combine the methods of #RandomisedControlledTrials and #MendelianRandomisation to create a new way of studying #diet and #health.
