We would like to Welcome Carolina Araya to SCMH

"I am Carolina Araya, currently embarking on my PhD journey at the School of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Health. With a BSc in Nutrition and Dietetics and an MSc in Nutrition and Food, focusing on Health Promotion and Prevention of Nutrition-Related Chronic Diseases from Universidad de Chile, my academic foundation is deeply rooted in nutrition science.

My research focuses on the intricate connections between dietary patterns, their environmental impacts, and the resulting health outcomes, with a special emphasis on Latin American countries. Guided by Dr. Carlos Celis (SCMH) and Professors Jill Pell and Duncan Lee from the School of Wellbeing and Health, I am eager to develop my research skills in nutritional epidemiology. A key aspect of my research is understanding the environmental impact of diets in low- and middle-income countries in Latin America."

We wish you all the best with your studies!
