Biographical details

Michael Skilton is Professor of Nutrition and Cardiometabolic Health, and the Maurice Blackmore Principal Research Fellow in Integrative Medicine, in the Faculty of Medicine and Health, The University of Sydney.

Research interests

The Nutrition and Cardiometabolic disease research group within the Boden Collaboration uses a life course approach, focusing on basic biomedical discovery, and prevention of disease.

This includes

- identification of people at risk of cardiometabolic diseases in adulthood based on their early life exposures (Developmental Origins of Health and Disease; DOHaD);

- identification of the mechanisms through which these exposures affect long term risk of cardiometabolic diseases;

- developing and trialing nutrition strategies to improve the cardiometabolic risk profile, and subsequently prevent cardiovascular events and type 2 diabetes, in people using a precision medicine approach.

The group also actively works to develop and refine age-appropriate methodologies for assessing preclinical measures of cardiometabolic health, which inform and facilitate the above work.
