Biography
Professor Sarah Berry’s research interests relate to the influence of dietary components on markers of cardiovascular disease risk, with a particular focus on:
- Precision nutrition
- Postprandial metabolism
- Food and fat structure
Since commencing her research career at King’s in 2000, she has been the academic leader for more than 30 human nutrition studies in cardio-metabolic health. Sarah has made a leading contribution to the knowledge-base on the influence of interesterification of triacylglycerols on postprandial metabolism. Her research also focuses on the influence of manipulation of food structure and subsequent effects on lipid and carbohydrate bioaccessibility and changes in postprandial metabolism.
Ongoing research involves human and mechanistic studies to elucidate how markers of cardiometabolic health can be modulated following acute and chronic intakes of different fatty acids and interesterified fats, as well as studies to investigate the influence of cell wall integrity on macronutrient and micronutrient release from different plant-based foods.
Sarah is also the lead nutritional scientist on the PREDICT programme, assessing the genetic, metabolic, metagenomic, and meal-dependent effects on metabolic responses to food in >3,000 individuals in the UK and US. This research is at the forefront of developments in personalised nutrition and is forging a new way forward in the design and implementation of large-scale remote nutrition research studies integrating novel technologies, citizen science and AI.

Lipids and Membranes Research Interest Group
A Lipids and Membranes Research Interest Group

Innovation for Safe and Sustainable Food, Nutrition and Health
This Research Interest Group on Innovation for Safe and Sustainable Food, Nutrition and Health provides a unique opportunity for the King’s research community to address the challenges of sustainable food development.

Personalised nutrition
Personalised nutrition, also known as precision nutrition, is a dietary strategy that takes into account an individual's genetic and phenotypic characteristics, lifestyle, and environmental factors to provide tailored dietary recommendations.

Postprandial metabolism
Postprandial metabolism refers to the metabolic changes that occur after a meal, following the absorption and processing of nutrients

Cardiometabolic health and diet
The Cardiometabolic health and diet Research Group is led by Dr Wendy Hall.

Chrononutrition
Chrononutrition is the study of interactions between diet, circadian rhythms, and sleep, and their impact on health. Misalignment between circadian rhythms and the timing of eating may have adverse effects on metabolic function and increase risk of weight gain.

Fats and fatty acids
Understanding of the role of dietary fats and fatty acids in human health is constantly evolving. Our department has a longstanding interest in the effects of manipulating dietary fat composition on cardiometabolic disease risk factors

The NutrImmune Study
Investigating how diet can optimise our immune response to flu vaccines. We're recruiting healthy adults, aged 40-64 years old, who consume 2+ snacks per day.

DIMENSION
DIMENSION investigates the causal impacts of dietary intake on epigenetic regulation of gene function, and their impact on subsequent cardio-metabolic health outcomes.

Lipids and Membranes Research Interest Group
A Lipids and Membranes Research Interest Group

Innovation for Safe and Sustainable Food, Nutrition and Health
This Research Interest Group on Innovation for Safe and Sustainable Food, Nutrition and Health provides a unique opportunity for the King’s research community to address the challenges of sustainable food development.

Personalised nutrition
Personalised nutrition, also known as precision nutrition, is a dietary strategy that takes into account an individual's genetic and phenotypic characteristics, lifestyle, and environmental factors to provide tailored dietary recommendations.

Postprandial metabolism
Postprandial metabolism refers to the metabolic changes that occur after a meal, following the absorption and processing of nutrients

Cardiometabolic health and diet
The Cardiometabolic health and diet Research Group is led by Dr Wendy Hall.

Chrononutrition
Chrononutrition is the study of interactions between diet, circadian rhythms, and sleep, and their impact on health. Misalignment between circadian rhythms and the timing of eating may have adverse effects on metabolic function and increase risk of weight gain.

Fats and fatty acids
Understanding of the role of dietary fats and fatty acids in human health is constantly evolving. Our department has a longstanding interest in the effects of manipulating dietary fat composition on cardiometabolic disease risk factors

The NutrImmune Study
Investigating how diet can optimise our immune response to flu vaccines. We're recruiting healthy adults, aged 40-64 years old, who consume 2+ snacks per day.
