Rikard Landberg, Professor (he/him/his)

Professor
Chalmers University of Technology
Gothenburg, Vastra Gotaland, Sweden

Professor Rikard Landberg is the head of Division of Food and Nutrition Science at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden (n=50). The multidisciplinary group of Landberg (n=20) studies the preventive role of (plant-based) foods using observational- and intervention studies. Landberg is the PI of several RCTs on the role of plant- based foods in appetite and body weight regulation and on cardiometabolic risk. So far, the team has conducted about 15 trails including more than 1500 participants; from small acute studies to investigate fundamental mechanisms of specific dietary components on human physiology to large scale long-term randomized controlled trials to substantiate EU health claims. 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. Novel food intake biomarkers for whole grain intake, fish, coffee and dietary patterns have emerged and been validated and implemented widely by the international research community. The Landberg group uses well established cohorts from Sweden (SIMPLER, Northern Disease and Health Study), Denmark (Danish Diet Cancer and Health – Next Generation cohort) and from Europe (European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition). Professor Landberg has authored ~195 papers, ~10 book chapters, delivered ~30 invited/keynote lectures and is the editor of one book. He has an H-index of 39 according to Scopus. 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.
