NuBrain
Given the mounting social and economic pressure of dementia, there is growing interest in strategies to help facilitate healthy brain ageing in the general population.
The NuBrain consortium, led by Prof. Emma Stevenson (Biomedical, Nutritional and Sport Sciences) and funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC), was established in 2020 to build a sustainable, internationally field-leading consortium in the area of nutrition and brain health.
NuBrain focuses on addressing some of the fundamental research challenges in the area of nutrition and brain ageing, and has brought together researchers from Newcastle (Professor Emma Stevenson, Professor Tom Hill, Professor Ashley Adamson, Professor Falko Sniehotta, and Dr. Oliver Shannon), Edinburgh (including Professor Craig Ritchie, Dr. Graciela Muniz-Tererra, and Dr. Sarah Gregory), University of East Anglia (Professor Anne Marie Minihane), and the University of Manchester (Professor Alistair Burns).
