Prof. Elaine Holmes

P3-019 Precision Nutrition Strategies

Elaine is the Professor of Molecular Phenomics at Murdoch University and Head of the Centre for Computational & Systems medicine. She undertook her PhD in molecular phenotyping using NMR spectroscopy and has since broadened her research capabilities to develop chemometric and other statistical methods for analysing large-scale metabolic data. Elaine has applied metabolic phenotyping in the areas of toxicology, molecular epidemiology and nutrition and health.

P3-019 In Progress

Development of Precision Nutrition Strategies Using 1H-NMR Metabolomics

The main objective of the PhD project is to obtain detailed molecular phenotypes of WA fresh produce (olive oils and edible fruit) using spectroscopic technologies available to the Australian National Phenome Centre (ANPC).

Charlotte Rowley, PhD student: Profiling premium WA produce

CRC PhD student Charlotte Rowley is working with world-leading scientists at Murdoch University to produce molecular-level profiles of fruit and olive oil that can be used to formulate precision nutrition products and back provenance and health claims.

CRC welcomes three new PhDs

Three new doctoral candidates will contribute valuable research to CRC projects, investigating cooling strategies for protected cropping, analysing herbal weight loss supplements and creating detailed molecular profiles of WA foods to form the foundation of strategies around precision nutrition.

Unlocking the chemical secrets of WA’s healthiest food

Murdoch University scientists are using cutting-edge methods and equipment to profile the nutritional makeup of high-value produce from across Western Australia, including truffles, artichokes and olive oil.

Meet Dr Elaine Holmes: Microbiome-diet expert

This brilliant scientist was the first in her family to attend university. But for Elaine Holmes, world-leading metabolic scientist, WA Premier’s Research Fellow and recent recipient of a prestigious Australian Laureate ARC Fellowship, academia proved a natural fit.
