Professor Michael Crawford
The primary objective of Professor Michael Crawford’s current work is to understand the cause of the rise in brain disorders, and stem the rise in neurodevelopmental disorders. Much of his work has focused on maternal and preterm infant nutrition, initially at the Homerton and Newham General Hospital Trusts in the East-end of London, with a programme started in 2009 with Imperial College. He has published over 300 scientific papers and three books, as well as contributing chapters to several multi-author books on the topic of lipids and health.

Professor John Stein
John Stein is Professor of Neurophysiology, University of Oxford, Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and Chair of the Dyslexia Research Trust. After studying Medicine and Neurology at Oxford University, he was appointed tutor in Medicine at Magdalen College, Oxford, in 1970. John's research focuses on how vision controls movement – in patients with movement disorders, dyslexic children and antisocial offenders, for example.

Dr Alex Richardson
Alex Richardson is the Founder Director of FAB Research, and Research Associate, Dept of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics, University of Oxford. She is best known for her research into how nutrition (and particularly fatty acids) can affect behaviour, learning and mood, although her work also involves several large-scale collaborative programmes that include studies of epidemiology, genetics, brain imaging, biochemistry and nutrition as well as physiological and psychological functioning.

Dr Robert Lustig
Dr Lustig is a neuroendocrinologist whose clinical research has focused on the regulation of energy balance by the central nervous system, and the dissociation of caloric equivalence of foods from its metabolic and addictive effects. With his YouTube video, “Sugar: The Bitter Truth” (now at 8.6 million views), he fueled the “anti-sugar” movement to improve global health, and the Financial Times bestowed upon him the moniker “the godfather of the sugar tax”.
