Research Overview

Dr Yasmine Probst is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Wollongong and a Research Fellow with the Illawarra Health and Medical Research Institute. She is recognised as an Advanced Accredited Practising Dietitian with the Dietitians Association of Australia and a Fellow of the Australasian College of Health Informatics. She is the Honours Coordinator for Nutrition and Dietetics at the University of Wollongong and coordinator of the Visiting Researcher program for the Smart Foods Centre.

Yasmine's research related to nutrition informatics with a specific focus on food composition. For this she develops new food composition data, develops dietary models for specific requirements such as weight loss and creates new methods for dietary assessment.

Yasmine works has worked within the clinical trials research team for more than ten years to manage food-based intervention trials with a specific focus on dietary methodology, dietary modeling and food composition. In 2013, she developed a virtual interdisciplinary Centre for Nutrition Informatics and is a leader for food composition data use in Australia.

She is an active member of the Dietitians Association of Australia (DAA) previously chairing the Health Informatics Advisory Committee and developing its family friendly conference initiative. She is also chairperson of the clinical informatics community of practice with the Health Informatics Society of Australia, a member of the Multiple Sclerosis Research Australia management committee and advisory committee for food composition with Food Standards Australia New Zealand. She has contributed to nutrition policy and has presented her research at a number of national and international conferences.

Impact Story

Helping others to understand food
Summary
I help people, industry and researchers to understand food. Chronic diseases are linked with foods we eat. To understand food, we need to translate what we eat into nutrients, or the reverse to give advice or to help industry. Translation tools include food databases, methods for dietary assessment and ensuring food advice aligns with policy. My team and I developed such tools, adopted internationally, to impact food and nutrient measures, educate, improve efficiency in practice and shape policy.

Teaching Overview

My formal teaching role includes a nutrition research theory subject for under- and postgraduate students in nutrition and health sciences. This subject forms the basis to a subsequent annual applied research subject that I coordinate. Many students present their findings at national conferences and publish their research from this subject. The research subject includes dietetic students across both under- and post-graduate degrees as well as a Deans Scholar program.

Research Overview

Dr Yasmine Probst is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Wollongong and a Research Fellow with the Illawarra Health and Medical Research Institute. She is recognised as an Advanced Accredited Practising Dietitian with the Dietitians Association of Australia and a Fellow of the Australasian College of Health Informatics. She is the Honours Coordinator for Nutrition and Dietetics at the University of Wollongong and coordinator of the Visiting Researcher program for the Smart Foods Centre.

Yasmine's research related to nutrition informatics with a specific focus on food composition. For this she develops new food composition data, develops dietary models for specific requirements such as weight loss and creates new methods for dietary assessment.

Yasmine works has worked within the clinical trials research team for more than ten years to manage food-based intervention trials with a specific focus on dietary methodology, dietary modeling and food composition. In 2013, she developed a virtual interdisciplinary Centre for Nutrition Informatics and is a leader for food composition data use in Australia.

She is an active member of the Dietitians Association of Australia (DAA) previously chairing the Health Informatics Advisory Committee and developing its family friendly conference initiative. She is also chairperson of the clinical informatics community of practice with the Health Informatics Society of Australia, a member of the Multiple Sclerosis Research Australia management committee and advisory committee for food composition with Food Standards Australia New Zealand. She has contributed to nutrition policy and has presented her research at a number of national and international conferences.

Impact Story

Helping others to understand food
Summary
I help people, industry and researchers to understand food. Chronic diseases are linked with foods we eat. To understand food, we need to translate what we eat into nutrients, or the reverse to give advice or to help industry. Translation tools include food databases, methods for dietary assessment and ensuring food advice aligns with policy. My team and I developed such tools, adopted internationally, to impact food and nutrient measures, educate, improve efficiency in practice and shape policy.

Teaching Overview

My formal teaching role includes a nutrition research theory subject for under- and postgraduate students in nutrition and health sciences. This subject forms the basis to a subsequent annual applied research subject that I coordinate. Many students present their findings at national conferences and publish their research from this subject. The research subject includes dietetic students across both under- and post-graduate degrees as well as a Deans Scholar program.
