Torsten Bohn PhD

Torsten Bohn is a nutritionist and food chemist by training. He works in close collaboration with internal partners (e.g. CIEC) and external collaborators (e.g. networks such as EU-COST actions) and strives to study especially the relation of micronutrient/secondary plant compound (including fiber) intake, their digestion, and bioavailability, to markers of health and disease such as inflammation and oxidative stress, also looking for novel biomarkers (e.g. via proteomics, genomics). Toward this end, Torsten Bohn is involved in conducting and evaluating both human observational studies such as the ORISCAV-LUX studies, and dietary intervention trials. An additional aspect is an interaction between a healthy diet and environmental pollutants, which is studied together with internal collaborators.
