Zoi Toumpakari is a Senior Lecturer in Nutrition and Behaviour Change. Her research focuses on upstream determinants of eating behaviour, for example the physical environment, advertising and the role of policies in shaping eating behaviour. She is also interested in the role of dietary patterns in the prevention of cardiometabolic health.

Her current research is focused on the following:

• How features of the eating environment, like where and with whom people eat, influence adults' and children's diet and how these could be altered to improve nutritional intake.
• The role of the out-of-home food sector on the population's diet
• Evaluating policies of food advertising restrictions to understand impact on people's diet
