His research sits at the interface of neuroscience, nutrition, neurobiology and psychology (Nutritional Neuroscience). His Neuroactive Lipids Lab utilises both pre-clinical and clinical approaches to explore the role of bioactive lipids in brain health and disease across the lifespan. Current projects include exploring the role of polyunsaturated fatty acids and lipid mediators in perinatal health, and a neuroimaging study investigating the therapeutic effects of a high omega-3 fatty acid multinutrient supplement on stress and anxiety in young adults.
