Since 2019, alongside my core appointment as the Chief Scientist and Executive Director for the NNEdPro Global Institute for Food, Nutrition and Health headquartered in Cambridge, I have continued to hold several linked roles. I am the Founding Co-Chair of the peer-reviewed journal BMJ Nutrition, Prevention and Health (BMJ NPH), established in 2018 and now a leading publication in the field. I also held a fractional academic cross-appointment as Director of Research in Food Security, Health and Society at the University of Cambridge (2019-2021). I have been actively involved in the University of Cambridge Centre for Science and Policy Fellowship Programme as well as Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion initiatives. 

Stemming from my work in Cambridge, I am a lead co-investigator for nutritional aspects of development research in Southeast Asia as well as a senior co-investigator for a Surrey-India GCRF pump-priming initiative. I also serve on the National Advisory Board of the BBSRC Food Biosystems Doctoral Research Training Partnership (2020-2028), spanning a consortium of six UK universities. More recently I am also an advisor to the London Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Doctoral Training Partnership funded by the ESRC.

Additionally, I hold a fractional appointment as a Full Professor of Global Nutrition, Health and Disease at Ulster University (2019-2022), where within the Nutrition Innovation Centre for Nutrition and Health (NICHE), I co-lead the Nutrition and Vascular Studies Platform and facilitate nutrition intervention studies measuring vascular/endothelial function. Also, at Ulster, I teach a module on Cardiovascular Nutrition across all six-degree courses on Food Science, Human Nutrition and Clinical Dietetics in NICHE. In 2021 I commenced Doctoral Research Co-Supervision for several NICHE PhD studentships and was part of the inaugural teaching team for the newly established graduate Medical School at Ulster University. 

Additionally, in recent years I have been appointed to several honorary academic positions: Honorary Distinguished Visiting professor to the Shiv Nadar University in India; Honorary International Dean to the Lord Rana Charitable Foundation Trust in Belfast; Visiting Professor at the School of Public Health at Imperial College London; Honorary Professorial Fellow in the School of Medicine at the University of Wollongong Australia; Presidential Advisory Board Member in the School of Advanced Studies on Food and Nutrition at the University of Parma.

Within my portfolio, I continue to undertake a weekly session in broader aspects of clinical and public health research/education/practice enabling me to remain connected with the wider healthcare landscape. This includes serving as an Expert Clinical member of the NHS National Research Ethics Service (since 2011), the role of lead tutor for the Clinical Research Ethics module of the Cambridge University Health Partners Research Skills for Clinicians Programme (2019 to 2024) and Associate Editorship of Frontiers Public Health Policy.
