Biography

Professor Sandberg is a full professor at Chalmers University in the Division of Food Nutrition Science. With over 30-40 years of research experience, her primary focus lies in the bioavailability of minerals, inhibitors of absorption, and the role of bioactive compounds in seafood concerning metabolic diseases. In recent years, she has broadened her research interests to include early life nutrition, collaborating with national colleagues to establish the mother-child birth cohort (NICE) in northern Sweden. This cohort is aimed at investigating the impact of lifestyle factors during pregnancy on early immune maturation and the development of allergies in children. Additionally, Professor Sandberg's research group studies the effects of diet and nutrients, utilizing validated biomarkers and employing metabolomics and other omics techniques. They also explore the nutritional aspects of the ongoing shift from animal to plant-based proteins.
