PhD confirmation milestone, Steph Cowan, "Investigating the effect of using a whole diet approach to lower levels of inflammation in metabolically compromised adults", 8 February

All staff and students are invited to Steph Cowan's PhD confirmation milestone.

8 February, 2pm, Level 1, BASE Facility, Building 230, Clayton Campus, Monash University

Synopsis: Different elements in the diet can influence the course of chronic inflammation. Foods that have pro-inflammatory properties may promote the influx of immune cells into tissues and increase the risk of further damage and disease. In contrast, foods with anti-inflammatory properties may aid in resolution of inflammation. My PhD research will include the development of a whole diet approach to reducing inflammation which will then be implemented in subjects at increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

Supervisor:  Dr Simone Gibson
