Plant-Based Omegas: Regenerating Health, Regenerating the Planet with Ella Baker

Dr. Ella Baker is a postdoctoral researcher in Human Development and Health, at the University of Southampton. She completed a PhD titled, “Comparing anti-inflammatory effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids from marine sources to sustainable plant sources,” alongside the supervision of Professor Calder in 2018. Baker holds expertise within a variety of molecular and cell biology techniques, inflammation, fatty acid metabolism as well as the co-ordination of human nutrition intervention trials. Dr Baker's research to date focuses on the metabolism, functionality, and underlying mechanisms of action of plant-derived fatty acids. Her interests include novel plant-derived fatty acids and exploring the effects on membrane structure and function.
