Galia Zamaratskaia

Jag har en bakgrund inom biologi, men har sedan millennieskiftet arbetat med livsmedelsvetenskap där både animaliska och vegetabiliska livsmedel var i fokus. Jag är docent i livsmedelsvetenskap och arbetar med forskning och utbildning kring livsmedelskemi, biokemi och nutrition. Jag är särskilt intresserad av bioaktiva ämnen i nordisk kost som har potential att påverka läkemedelsmetabolismen.

Jag undervisar på ett antal olika kurser inom grund- och forskarutbildningen och har erfarenhet av olika undervisningsformer. Jag  är kursansvarig på några olika kurser och har stor erfarenhet av att vara handledare för självständiga arbeten. Jag också deltar i undervisning på internationell nivå.

Mitt kompetensområde sträcker sig från köttkvalitet ända fram till studier av olika bioaktiva ämnen i livsmedel och deras hälsoeffekter. Jag har främst drivit praktiskt tillämpbar forskning med syfte att förstå och förklara samband mellan livsmedelssammansättning och humanhälsa. I min forskning identifierar jag även sådana bioaktiva ämnen i nordisk kost som har potential att påverka läkemedelsmetabolismen. Interaktioner mellan födoämnen och läkemedel är ett område som hittills inte studerats så noga, särskilt inte sådant som påverkar nedbrytning av läkemedel.

I min roll som samverkanslektor bidrar jag till att skapa ömsesidig nytta för SLU och våra olika samverkanspartners, så att vi tillsammans kan öka kunskapen om matens kvalitet och om sambandet mellan kost, näring och hälsa.
