Dr. Genevieve Newton
I developed a keen interest in nutrition while in Chiropractic College, and decided to pursue an MSc in this field at the University of Guelph shortly after graduating. My thoughts were that I would use my newfound knowledge to integrate nutrition into my clinical practice. Instead, I ended up realizing that academia was a much better fit with my interests and aptitudes, and rather than returning to private practice, I continued on to do doctoral and post-doctoral training in nutrition. My MSc research was focused on the role of omega-3 fatty acids in adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and my PhD research was focused on the role of niacin in the process of spatial learning, specifically as it relates to modulation of the intracellular calcium signaling molecule cyclic ADP-ribose. After completion of my PhD degree, I worked as a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Waterloo, where I investigated the intake of omega-3 fatty acids by elderly community living residents. Currently, my research interests are in the area of knowledge mobilization, specifically within the field of human health.
