Senior Research Fellow, Diet, Obesity, and Behavioural Sciences, Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, University of Oxford
Dimitrious is a dietitian and his research focuses on testing how behavioural science can change dietary intake and improve outcomes for patients with obesity-related diseases, as well as exploring the mechanisms through which weight loss could exert its effects.
He is currently funded by an NIHR Advanced Fellowship, leading a programme of work that examines the role of intentional weight loss before cancer surgery. This work focuses on assessing the feasibility of pre-operative diet-induced weight loss on post-operative complications in patients diagnosed with colorectal or endometrial cancer. This is complemented with qualitative interviews, health economic modelling, and mechanistic studies.
