Her postdoctoral research considered the dys-regulation of body weight, beginning with weight loss in people with cancer and HIV and later turning to weight gain and obesity, with detailed measurements of appetite, energy intake and energy expenditure. In 1999 Dr Jebb moved to MRC Human Nutrition Research where her research focuses on the role of dietary factors in the prevention and treatment of obesity. Dr Jebb also leads the Communications team within the unit, fostering the translation of research into policy and practice. This includes close working with policymakers on matters relating to nutrition and obesity, dialogue with the food industry, and training for health professionals in nutrition. She has taken part in numerous media and public activities to develop interest and awareness of science and particularly the links between diet and health.
