Jayne Valerie Woodside is a British nutritionist who is Professor of Human Nutrition at the Institute for Global Food Security at Queen's University Belfast. Her research considers human nutrition intervention with whole foods. She is on the Board of Trustees of The Nutrition Society.

Early life and education[edit]

Woodside completed her doctoral research at the Queen's University Belfast.[1][verification needed]

Research and career[edit]

Woodside is interested in the role of diet and lifestyle in the prevention of chronic disease. She leads the UK Prevention Research Partnership activity on improving nutrition in UK schools.[2] She builds a network that considers the food system across preschool, primary and secondary, which provides advice on children's dietary requirements and looks to eliminate nutritional inequality.[3][4] She argued that it was essential to increase monitoring of school food across the United Kingdom.[3]

Woodside investigates the use of biomarkers to understand dietary intake.[5] She looked to understand whether biomarkers can be used to capture information on overall dietary intake or diet quality.[6]

In 2021, Woodside's research showed that iodine deficiency was increasing, which she attributed to changing dietary preferences, farming practices and public health priorities.[7] She has partly attributed this iodine deficiency to an increase in plant-based diets.[8]
