Personal profile

Biographical details

Dr Wendy Hall is Reader in Nutritional Sciences, Head of the Diet and Cardiometabolic Health Research Group, and Lead for the King’s Nutrition Metabolic Research Unit.

“My long-term research goal is to enrich understanding of how nutrition influences cardiometabolic disease risk. This is essential for the development of dietary strategies to promote healthy ageing, and to provide the highest quality evidence to inform dietary guidelines” 

Dr Hall has held an academic teaching and research post at King's since 2005, following completion of her PhD in dietary amino acids and appetite regulation at University of Surrey (2001), and postdoctoral research posts at University of Surrey (vitamin E biokinetics, 2001-2002) and University of Reading (soy isoflavones and CVD, dietary fatty acids and insulin sensitivity; 2003-2005).

A key objective of her research is to  provide  high  quality  clinical  trial  data,  using  standardised  methodologies,  to  provide  scientific  evidence  relevant  to  public  health policy  and  the food and drink  industry.  Dr Hall's  broad research  interests  relate to the  the nutritional modulation of lipid metabolism, postprandial glycaemia and lipaemia, cardiovascular function, oxidative stress and inflammation. Specific  interests  include  investigating effects  of  dietary  fatty  acids  (omega-3 fatty acids, saturated fatty acids),  polyphenols (particularly those derived from soy, apple and berries), sleep/dietary quality interactions, and weight loss strategies on  cardio-metabolic  risk  markers. 

Dr Hall was awarded the Silver Medal for scientific excellence in nutrition by the Nutrition Society (2016), and the Faculty Supervisory Excellence Award (2018). She is a Registered Nutritionist (RNutr 455, Association for Nutrition) and has been a member of the UK Nutrition Society since 1995, and the American Society for Nutrition since 2010.
