https://www.kcl.ac.uk/people/yemisi-latunde-dada Dr Gladys Oluyemisi Latunde-Dada is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Nutritional Sciences, King’s College London, UK. Her research interests focus on the molecular biology of iron metabolism and iron nutrition. She was involved in the characterization of iron metabolism genes and proteins in the mammalian system by the Iron Research Group at King’s. The group has contributed immensely to the global understanding of iron transport and metabolism. Her interests in iron metabolism research include studies on anemia in chronic kidney disease and the evaluation of iron and cancer interactions in cell culture models. Furthermore, her research has also been focused on the bioavailability of iron nano-compounds and amino acid iron chelates in cell culture and animal studies. She is a member of a collaborative group that studies the bioavailability of iron and zinc from wheat in human subjects. She has recently commenced studies on ferroptosis, a form of programmed cell death akin to apoptosis, which is induced by iron and lipid peroxidation. She is a Registered Nutritionist and a member of the Nutrition Society, the American Society for Nutrition, the Biochemical Society, the European Iron Club, and the International BIOIRON Society.
