Dr Katie Lane is an academic member of staff with teaching duties at the School of Sport and Exercise Sciences. Katie's specialism is food solutions for nutrition problems with a focus on vegetarian omega-3 fatty acids. Katie is a Registered Nutritionist (Public Health) with the Association for Nutrition, a member of the Nutrition Society and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. Katie teaches on the MSc Public Health Nutrition, BSc Nutrition and BSc Sport and Nutrition for Health programmes. Katie's teaching and research interests focus on all aspects of food science and nutrition including the development of novel functional foods through new product development to improve nutritional status. Katie is also interested in Public Health Nutrition and how diet influences the health of different groups within the wider population.
Katie is committed to developing and nurturing talented students and has supported the publication of several post graduate and undergraduate dissertation projects.
Katie has worked with our MSc students to conduct the Pattern Analysis of Vegan Eating (PAVE study). This project aims to identify patterns of vegan dietary adaptation, so how vegans remove all animal products from their diet and to evaluate the nutritional efficacy of the identified patterns.
Katie interested in the potential of plant-based long chain omega-3 fatty acids to ameliorate non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), an important public health concern, which affects up to one third of western populations.
Katie enjoys leading and being a part of collaborative research projects and has successfully secured two funded projects totalling £47000 through LJMU’s internal Faculty Research & Enterprise Excellence (FREE) fund. This funding has already enabled the publication of a systematic literature review, several conference abstracts and a further publication of an empirical study to evaluate the oxidative stability of omega-3 nanoemulsions using novel methods. Katie has also formed part of external funding applications as Principle Investigator and Co-Investigator.
Katie is also a member of the research team for the CALIBER (Carbohydrates, lipids and biomarkers of traditional and emerging cardiometabolic risk factors) study, which has three PhD students attached to it. CALIBER aims to find out more about the effects of consuming either a high-carbohydrate or a low-carbohydrate diet on known and potential risk factors for heart disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Katie completed her PhD, which centred on the invention of vegetarian omega-3 nanoemulsion enriched functional foods in 2013 and as part of her PhD has a product patent entitled 'Nanoemulsions, methods of forming the same and uses thereof.'
