We sincerely welcome Dr. Mohsen Mazidi from University of Oxford, UK, to join the Editorial Board of Recent Progress in Nutrition. He is working in the CKB to investigate translational applications of human multi-OMICs information to elucidate the aetiology of disease and help guide drug development in areas of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) by applying human genetics (e.g. through Mendelian randomisation) together with machine learning and advanced epidemiological techniques (personalised medicine).
He undertook a BSc and MSc degree in Nutrition Science. During his PhD, Nutrition Epidemiology, He examined large national prospective studies and nutritional records within the context of NCDs and related features at the Academy of Science. Alongside PhD training, He investigated the role of modifiable risk factors on risk of NCD mortality. Dr. Mazidi discovered his passion for the numbers around biology, which lead me to focus on personalised medicine. He then progressed to postdoctoral level and moved to Sweden, where he was trained in applying advanced epidemiological techniques to quantify the role of multi-OMICs and their mediator link between dietary intakes and disease pre-conditions. Before joining Oxford, he was appointed as a researcher at King's College London, Twins group, as well as having the privilege of working with the unique company, which funds large trials with the hope of progressing personalised medicine/nutrition. We appreciate Dr. Mohsen Mazidi for his participation and support.

We sincerely welcome Prof. Dr. Peter Ballmer, from Swiss Society for Clinical Nutrition, Switzerland, to join the Editorial Board of Recent Progress in Nutrition. He graduated in Medicine in 1979 at the University of Basel, Switzerland. Thereafter he specialised in General Internal Medicine and Intensive Care at the University of Bern and became chairman of the Departement of Medicine at the Kantonsspital Winterthur (Zürich) for 23 years. He got awarded Professor of Medicine in 2002 at the University of Zürich.
During a research fellowship at the Rowett Research Institute in Aberdeen (Scotland) he intensified his scientific interest in clinical nutrition, primarily with a focus on albumin metabolism, where he could introduce a new method for measuring albumin synthetic rates in man using stable isotopes. A personal interest was also high altitude medicine, which he implemented on Capanna Regina Margherita on 4559 m (near Zermatt, Switzerland).
In recent years his main interest was malnutrition, in particular nutritional interventions combined with physical exercise in patients with cancer.
He is the president of the local Society for Clinical Nutrition, Switzerland (GESKES/SSNC). We appreciate Prof. Ballmer for his participation and support.

We sincerely welcome Prof. Dr. Martin Grootveld, from De Montfort University, UK, to join the Editorial Board of Recent Progress in Nutrition. He completed his PhD degree research programme on bioanalytical chemistry and metallodrugs in 1985 at the same institution and then conducted post-doctoral work on the analysis of ‘markers’ of free radical activity in biofluids at King’s College, University of London for 2 years. He then spent 2.5 years lecturing and conducting research work at the Polytechnic of North London prior to taking up a Lectureship in Clinical Chemistry at St. Bartholomew’s and the Royal London School of Medicine and Dentistry in 1989, where he subsequently became Senior Lecturer and then Reader in Chemical Pathology. Later, he transferred to London South Bank University where he was also Reader in Chemical Pathology, and Director of their MSc Forensic Science course. He was then appointed Professor of Chemical Pathology and Biomedical Materials at the Institute for Materials Research and Innovation (IMRI), University of Bolton where he established and directed a Master’s course in Medical and Healthcare Devices which was the first of its kind available in the UK.

We sincerely welcome Dr. Song-young Park, from University of Nebraska, USA, to join the Editorial Board of Recent Progress in Nutrition. He joined the School of Health& Kinesiology in 2017 after completing his post-doctoral research fellowship in department of cardiology at Boston University School of Medicine. He earned his PhD in integrative physiology from the University of Utah in 2015. Utilizing an integrative approach that combines both in-vivo and in-vitro techniques, Dr. Song-young Park's research examines the impact of age and disease on vascular function and blood pressure regulation. He is specifically focused on the complex interactions of endothelial function, oxidative stress, and vascular function in terms of blood pressure regulation in diseased populations including peripheral artery disease (PAD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), heart failure, and hypertension. He is also interested in the impacts of age and cardiovascular disease on blood flow in the brain. We appreciate Dr. Park for his participation and support.
