Michaela Noreik

I am a dietitian with an interest in everything that has to do with nutrition, including understanding how what we eat influences our health and what its impacts are on the environment.

After finishing my university studies with a German and Dutch Degree in Nutrition and Dietetics, I took on a dual position as research assistant and senior dietitian at St. Marien’s, an academic teaching hospital of the University of Cologne. I then moved to the UK and began working as a trial administrator at the Early Phase Research Hub of the Department of Oncology, University of Oxford, where I worked closely with consultant staff and research teams to set up clinical trials and to administer a rolling research portfolio. 

In my current role as Assistant Trial Manager, I am involved in several projects including a trial that tests the feasibility of a behavioural and dietary intervention aiming to promote weight loss and improve glycaemic control; an experimental online supermarket study; and a systematic review of the effect of weight-loss interventions on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
