Dr. Judit Tormási - MATE Research
Overview
Judit Tormási received her PhD in 2023 from the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences, where she is a senior lecturer. Her research focuses on food science and nutrition and analytical method development. Her expertise lies in the in vitro simulation of food digestion (Infogest protocol), the assessment of nutrient bioaccessibility and the development of analytical protocols to access this information. Her current work focuses on the effect of food bioactive compounds on the digestibility of nutrients (protein, carbohydrate, fat) with the aim of using this information to improve food composition (i.e., reformulation) and to prevent non-communicable diet-related diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. She is also passionate about promoting a love of science and knowledge through her role at the National Association for Student Research (OTDT).
