Research focus
Rikard’s research is focused on the health effects of foods, food components and whole diets with emphasis on their role in cardiometabolic diseases, appetite regulation and weight management.
The overall aim of the research is to better understand underlying mechanisms, find new targets for prevention and develop the basis for more precise dietary advice using data-driven methods and OMICs. Metabolomics is a key technique used for discovery and validation of exposure- and prediction biomarkers, and for molecular phenotyping as the basis for tailored dietary strategies for personalized nutrition.
Rikard is a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences and of the National Committee for Nutrition and Food Science at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
