Welcome to the Naneix Lab
Rowett Institute, University of Aberdeen
The Naneix Lab is part of the “Obesity and Food Choice” research theme at the Rowett Institute in Aberdeen.
Our research is focused on the developmental aspects of the cognitive and neurobiological substrates underlying food-related behaviours, and how these processes are impacted by different diet lifestyles during early-life stages (childhood, adolescence). You can learn about it here.
For information about joining the lab send us an email or check our contact page. You also follow us on Twitter.
