Current activities
Dr Maria Anastasiadi is Lecturer in Bioinformatics with an extensive background in Plant and Food Science and Metabolomics. Maria's skill set includes both wet and dry lab techniques such as Mass Spectrometry, Spectroscopy, NGS, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. Maria's research is focused on promoting sustainability across the food supply chain and enhance health promoting properties of food products. She is applying multi-omics to study how factors such as climate change, pre-harvest and post-harvest practices affect horticultural crop quality and nutritional value, and she has explored innovative postharvest solutions to extend storage life of UK crops. She is also seeking to optimise nutrient bioavaila
