Nutritional Biomarker Laboratory

NBL develops and applies innovative methods and approaches for the measurement of nutritional biomarkers. It is part of @MRC_Epid.

Thiamine (vitamin B1) is an essential #micronutrient required as a cofactor in many metabolic processes. Clinical symptoms of thiamine deficiency are poorly defined, hence biomarkers of thiamine status are important. https://t.co/pDOtSENL1M

Remote blood sampling is the future. You can ask people to run up the stairs and stick their hand in warm water to get enough blood out of a finger tip. Or use new technology. @MRC_Epid we used the Onedraw.

We had a great time explaining biomarkers to the people @GreenManFest, many thanks to the @NBL_Cam team.

Really pleased to share our new article in @commsbio. <https://t.co/hymB64Sp4b> We use a novel #network analysis tool (#Lipid Traffic Analysis) to test the hypothesis that altered paternal diet changes the lipid #metabolism in two further generations. (1/7)

Great work by an international team of @PaediatCam, @MRL_Cam, @MRC_Epid, Mead Johnson Pediatric Nutrition Institute and @TNO_Research

Very happy to see our latest paper of @NBL_Cam part of @MRC_Epid in the Annals of NYAS https://t.co/Stsj9oiHXp

[Albert Koulman @albert_koulman]

The results of the NDNS have been published today. Our @NBL_Cam has been responsible for all the nutritional biomarker work. Great work of the whole team! https://t.co/YE6xsZ0Jog

An exciting announcement by Drawbridge Health about their partnership with @Cambridge_Uni to use the One Draw Blood Collection Device to collect blood samples remotely.

This is a novel way to collect samples and an exciting project to work on with our @NBL_Cam team!

[Micronutrient Forum @MNForum]

👏 Thanks Dr Kenneth H. Brown for hosting an informative session on the #micronutrient (MN) data gap! If you missed it, join on Nov 9 at 11:15 EST | 17:15 CET for his presentation on 'Future needs and challenges for generating better data on micronutrient status.' #MNF2020

An new job opportunity at NBL in the stable isotope lab.

[Albert Koulman @albert_koulman]

We have an exiting job opportunity to work in our Stable Isotope Laboratory. Measuring energy expenditure using doubly labelled water and other methods using isotope ratio mass spec https://t.co/bNMjVNL4RP
