Biography

Clemens Wittenbecher’s work centers on the application of novel omics approaches to predicting cardiometabolic risk and understanding how diet composition influences future disease risk. He effectively utilizes methodologies such as causal modeling and metabolic network analysis to delve into the complexities of nutritional epidemiology. In the context of large observational cohorts, including the Harvard cohorts, the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study, the PREDIMED trial, and the Swedish SCAPIS SIMPLER cohorts, Dr. Wittenbecher focuses on metabolomic profiling and its links to dietary patterns and disease risk. His research has revealed specific metabolic signatures that respond to dietary components, contributing to the understanding of how these components modulate cardiometabolic risk. He has profound experience in leading and supervising precision nutrition research projects and is centrally involved in major Scandinavian precision nutrition research networks. Dr. Wittenbecher initiated the Precision Nutrition Forum in Gothenburg, attracting seminal multi-omics nutrition researchers from Europe. He holds a Wallenberg data-driven life science fellowship and a VR starting grant in health and medicine.
