Professor Leonie Heilbronn leads the Obesity and Metabolism lab at the University of Adelaide, and based within the Lifelong Health Theme at SAHMRI. The goal of her lab is to develop dietary and behavioural strategies that optimise circadian and metabolic health to increase healthspan and promote healthy ageing in humans. Currently, her research focuses on caloric restriction (CR), intermittent fasting (IF) and time restricted eating (TRE) and the synergistic pathways through which these interact to create a platform for lifelong health. She has published more than 150 original research articles with more than 15K citations. She is the current President of the Australian New Zealand Obesity Society.
