The Quadram Institute focuses on advancing research in gut health, microbiology, and food innovation, bringing together fundamental and applied scientists to tackle significant global health challenges. The institute conducts interdisciplinary studies that explore the interactions between food and microbes, aiming to promote health and address issues such as nutrient deficiencies in specific diets. One notable initiative is the HARVEST study, which investigates the use of hydroponically-grown, biofortified salad greens and a dietary app to improve iron and vitamin B12 status among individuals following plant-based diets. This research highlights the importance of innovative dietary solutions to enhance nutrient intake and overall health.

Additionally, the Quadram Institute houses a state-of-the-art Clinical Research Facility (CRF) that supports the development of new treatments and improves patient care through experimental medicine and translational research. The CRF collaborates with various institutions, including the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital and the University of East Anglia, to conduct clinical trials and studies on food and nutrition. Equipped with clinical and laboratory spaces, as well as specialized facilities for diet-related research, the CRF plays a crucial role in advancing medical knowledge and developing strategies for disease prevention and health improvement.
