She led the EU projects iFAAM and EuroPrevall and currently coordinates the European Food Safety Authority project ThrAll and leads the UK Food Standards Agency project PAFA. Her personal research interests are focused on structure-function relationships in food proteins particularly with regards what makes some proteins, and not others, become allergens, including the effects of the food matrix and processing on resistance of food proteins to digestion and the role this plays in determining the allergenicity of foods.
