Professor Rikard Landberg is the head of Division of Food and Nutrition Science at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden. He is also a guest professor at the Wallenberg laboratory, Institute of Medicine, Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg.  The multidisciplinary group of Landberg studies the preventive role of plant-based foods using observational- and intervention studies. Landberg is the PI of several RCTs on the role of whole grains and legume based foods in appetite and body weight regulation and on cardiometabolic risk. Landberg also leads studies to test novel OMICs-based personalized concepts for improved CVD prevention. Metabolomics is a key technique used for discovery and validation of exposure- and prediction biomarkers, and for molecular phenotyping as the basis for tailored dietary strategies for personalized nutrition. Landberg’s group have developed novel food intake biomarkers for whole grain intake that have been implemented widely by the international research community. Professor Landberg is a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Science and of the National Committee for Nutrition and Food Science at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
