Dr Evelyn Smith from the School of Social Sciences and Psychology has received a Ramaciotti Health Investment Grant from the Ramaciotti Foundations to investigate the link between obesity, inflammation and cognition deficits. The aim of the study is to determine whether therapies that improve cognition, when used with behavioural weight loss programs, are more effective at reducing obesity and improving cognition than the behavioural programs alone.
