Why is sunlight beneficial for us? What exactly is RNA? And how can we reformulate takeaway food? Join us to find out!

Here Comes the Sun: Shedding some light on vitamin D

Dr Daniel Owens (Lecturer in Cellular and Molecular Exercise Physiology)
Human beings have revered the health properties of the Sun for centuries. However, it was the identification of vitamin D, produced in our bodies by sunlight exposure that has led to understanding just how important safe sun exposure is for human health. This talk will explore the origins of sunlight for health, delve into the latest science on the many benefits of vitamin D and leave the audience with a practical understanding of how to maximise their own health through safe sun behaviours and vitamin D intake.

RNA Everywhere all At Once

Dr Kehinde Ross (Senior Lecturer)
With the emergence of mRNA vaccines against COVID-19, you would be forgiven for thinking everybody has a general understanding of what RNA is and how it can help in the fight against disease. It turns out that is not quite the case. So, I am going to talk about RNA and some plans I have to help use it in the fight against cancer.

Pint of lager and a bag of chips: what’s the health takeaway message?

Dr Ian Davies (Senior Lecturer )
Toni Blackham (Postgraduate Researcher)
Our data shows takeaway food is energy dense, and can be high in saturated and trans fats, sugar and salt, while others report a have poor micronutrient profile. We have also shown approximately 1/4 of the Merseyside population consume takeaway meals once or twice per week. At this level of intake research shows a link with obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Our presentation will highlight this evidence especially in light of risk regarding heart disease. We will also show how takeaway food can be reformulated with respect to salt and fat without impacting on taste.
