About

My disciplinary research interest is in metabolism in augmenting, maintaining health and alleviation of diseases/ conditions.

I have contributed towards acid-base physiology, cardio-vascular physiology, and cancer epidemiology. I have suggested the "Straight Line Hypothesis (of Diseases and Aging)" and continue towards confirmatory research on this topic. Methodologically, I have worked with age-period-cohort-, hierarchical-, multiple-linear-, non-linear-models, systematic literature review using covidence and meta analyses, Delphi consensus rounds, and have some amount of experience in qualitative research using grounded theory and qualitative content analysis. I have contributed significantly towards the initial development of the RCT, ToSyMa-Study, as well as to the evaluation study, ZeBra-Study, both at the Medical Faculty, University of Münster.

Currently, I am working on the biophysics, neurological, psychological and microbiome correlates of nutrition in a multidisciplinary approach as well as on sugar metabolism with physiological correlates/ consequences. Methodologically, I am at nascent efforts in the exploratory factor analysis, with the ambition of confirmatory as well.

I support clinical and practice research towards improving health delivery, evidence-based development of guidelines and evaluation studies. I am a nutrition scientist and nutrition-dietician and support multi-disciplinary and multi-professional health-service, and delivery of health-services. I support primary experimental research in the nutrition science, and in addition only further methods of investigation.

I research in the nutrition science at four levels with differential weighting:
(a) use-oriented basic research: acid-base, cancer, cardio-vascular, modeling, microbiology, biochemistry and biophysics of nutrition science (weighting: >50%)
(b) clinical (practice) research (~15-20%)
(c) observational, ecological, epidemiological, systemic research (~15-20%)
(d) Transfer-oriented policy, action-oriented or professional pedagogic research (~5%)
I support meaningful inter and trans disciplinary research as well.
