Justine Keathley is a registered dietitian and an Assistant Professor in nutrition and exercise metabolism at the University of Guelph's College of Biological Science. She completed her PhD at Western University, where she conducted a CIHR-funded randomized controlled clinical trial to evaluate the impact of providing genetic information on nutrition and exercise health outcomes. Following her PhD, Dr. Keathley pursued a CIHR-funded postdoctoral fellowship at Université Laval and a visiting postdoctoral fellowship at the Genomes 2 People Lab at Harvard University's Brigham & Women's Hospital. Her research utilizes ‘omics’ technologies to explore the relationships between genes, nutrition, metabolites, and health, particularly focusing on the interplay between genetic variation and nutritional intake. Dr. Keathley is deeply passionate about evidence-based nutrition and has contributed to clinical practice guidelines in the field of nutritional genomics, including research on the effects of omega-3 fatty acids on serum triglycerides. At the University of Guelph, her research program concentrates on evaluating the potential metabolic and health impacts among carriers of inborn errors of metabolism.
