Worked as part of a multidisciplinary team (UCD, DIT & Teagasc) under a DAFM FIRM funded research project to develop technologies for the enrichment and recovery of novel bioactive ingredients from plant food processing wastes.

Practiced nutritional and health care techniques and procedures, including differential diagnosis and personalized diet elaboration based on nutraceutical principles.

Wrote 12 brief review articles for SM monthly scientific magazines. Titles included: “How to benefit from plants’ bioactive components in order to avoid or treat diabetes?” and “What are bioactive peptides and what effect do they have on our health?”
