Biography

Baukje de Roos is a principal investigator at the University of Aberdeen, Rowett Institute of Nutrition and Health, investigating mechanims through which dietary fats and fatty acids affect parameters involved in the development of heart disease in vivo.

She obtained her PhD in Human Nutrition at Wageningen University in January 2000, after which she was appointed as a post-doctoral research fellow at the Department of Vascular Biochemistry, Glasgow Royal Infirmary, in collaboration with GlaxoSmithKline. In June 2001 she joined the Rowett Research Institute in Aberdeen.
