Dr Ansell is an Innovation Leader, Health and Nutrition at Zespri International, overseeing the scientific research that supports health communications about kiwifruit in the global markets.

During her 9 years at Plant & Food Research NZ, she led major research programmes with government and industry support involving in vitro, in vivo and human clinical trial work researching the health benefits of plants. The research focused on interactions between micro and macronutrients, their digestion, absorption, and fermentation through the gut and the downstream effects of these components and their metabolites on human health throughout the body.

Dr Ansell has over 40 publications in peer reviewed scientific journals, 2 book chapters, has given over 20 International conference presentations and has 1 patent (Inventor).

Dr Ansell previously presented on this topic which was well received, so we have asked her back to present again in October 2018. Don't miss your chance to ask Dr Ansell your questions at the webinar!
