Biography

Dr David Vauzour is an Associate Professor in Molecular Nutrition at the Norwich Medical School, University of East Anglia, UK. He received his PhD from the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Montpellier (France) in 2004. His research, based at the University of Reading (2005-2011), and at the Norwich Medical School, University of East Anglia, UK (2011- present) has focused on investigating the impact of food bioactives on (neuro)degenerative disorders and developing novel strategies to delay brain ageing and cognitive decline. In this context, his initial work provided considerable insights into the potential for natural products to promote human vascular function, decrease (neuro)inflammation, enhance memory, learning and neuro-cognitive performances and to slow the progression of Alzheimer鈥檚 disease. His major contribution has been to show that phytochemicals, and in particular flavonoids, exert such diverse biological effects through their modulation of intracellular signalling pathways, and the regulation of the cellular plasticity and resilience to exogenous stimuli. His recent interests concern how food bioactives modulate ApoE genotype-induced neurodegenerative disorders, along with the regulation of the gut microbiome-brain axis in ageing and neurodegenerative disorders and their underlying molecular mechanisms.
