Beatriz Sarriá Ruiz

Tenured Scientist

Research Groups: Metabolism and bioactivity of phytochemicals (BIOCELL)

Department: Department of Metabolism and Nutrition

Short Bio

With a degree (1991) and a PhD in Biology (1998) from the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM), she completed her PhD thesis at the Institute of Nutrition and Bromatology (CSIC-UCM), learning to determine mineral bioavailability using in vitro techniques and animal models. As a post-doc, she carried out stays at the Institute of Food Research (Norwich, UK), with a CSIC-Royal Society scholarship (1999) and a Marie Curie EU contract (2000-2002), where she carried out her first study in humans in which she determined the bioavailability of iron using stable isotope techniques. On her return from UK, she applied and was granted with a Marie Curie Reintegration (EU) project, which allowed her to start nutrigenetics studies Since 2009, he has been a member of the “Metabolism and Bioactivity of Phytochemicals” group, in which she has contributed her experience in conducting studies in humans to evaluate the health effects of phytochemicals. To date, he has conducted more than 30 studies in humans, focusing on two lines of research: 1) Nutrition in the prevention of non-communicable diseases (obesity, cardiovascular disease, etc.) and iron deficiency anemia 2) Study of the bioavailability of food components.

She is currently a Senior Scientist at ICTAN and an Associate Professor in the Department of Nutrition and Food Science, Faculty of Pharmacy (UCM). She has an I3 certificate. She has participated in 26 national and 2 international research projects and 19 technology support contracts. She has co-authored 87 articles in indexed journals and 7 book chapters. She is an associate editor of Foods journal. Her most recent interest is aimed at understanding inter-individual variability in dietary response in human studies, approaching the field of Precision Nutrition. She combines her research work with scientific dissemination, aimed at all audiences, but especially children.
