Eligible to supervise Masters and PhD - email supervisor to discuss availability.
Prof. Heilbronn is a translational investigator in obesity and diabetes research. She has a particular interest in understanding how fasting and meal timing alter nutrient signalling pathways to improve health and contributed extensively to current concepts in calorie restriction, intermittent fasting and time restricted eating. She has published more than 140 peer-reviewed manuscripts, and has a current h-index of 44. She is an Associate Editor of Obesity and the European Journal of Endocrinology. She is President of the Australia and New Zealand Obesity Society and an Associate Member of the Australian Academy of Health and Medical Science.

Research Interests
A healthy lifestyle is the cornerstone of good metabolic health to prevent and/or delay the onset of non-communicable diseases of aging, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, liver disease and cancers. However, it is not just good nutrition that is important to a healthy lifestyle. Our group is investigating the additional key regulators of metabolic health, including the roles that overnight fasting, meal timing, sleep, circadian rhythm, physical activity, and sedentarism play. We also studying the synergistic pathways in humans through which these collectively create a platform for lifelong health.
Available Research Projects
Project 1 - What is the impact of aligned vs misaligned meal timing on glucose metabolism and circadian rhythms during caloric restriction?
We are searching for a new PhD student to join the Obesity and Metabolism Lab and conduct an NHMRC funded trial that is about to get underway comparing the effects of aligned or misaligned meal timing during caloric restriction on 24 hour glucose and lipid metabolism and on circadian pathways in humans with obesity.
An Honours project is also available to study the impacts of the ICU on circadian rhythms.
Project 2 - Does when you eat matter more than what you eat?
Project description: We currently have a new project available examining the effects of meal timing on metabolic health in individuals at risk of type 2 diabetes. These studies involve clinical and laboratory based work (e.g. qPCR, immunohistochemistry, ELISA, RIA) examining the impact of these interventions on circadian rhythms, lipid metabolism and mitochondrial function, as well as clinical studies in humans examining glucose by continuous glucose monitors, physical activity, diet and participant wellbeing. New projects examining the effects of altering dietary protein on nutrient signalling pathways and metabolic health will soon also get underway.
