We are pleased to announce that the winners of the Nutrients 2020 Young Investigator Award are Dr. Paige Berger and Dr. Luigi Barrea.
Dr. Paige Berger is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Department of Pediatrics, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, Los Angeles, USA. Dr. Paige Berger’s research interests are in developmental nutrition and obesity prevention, and the role of human milk composition during early lactation. In support of this research, she recently received an NIH-sponsored K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award entitled “Role of Human Milk Oligosaccharides on Infant Brain Development” (HD098288).
Dr. Luigi Barrea is Assistant Professor at Department of Clinical Medicine and Surgery, Unit of Endocrinology, Federico II University Medical School of Naples, Naples, Italy. Dr. Luigi Barrea’s research interests are in the influence of nutrition on the endocrine system (with implications for obesity, osteoporosis, hypovitaminosis D, breast cancer, polycystic ovary syndrome, somatotropic axis, and gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors) and chronic inflammatory skin diseases (psoriasis, acne, and hidradenitis suppurativa) and, in particular, the role of Mediterranean diet in different endocrine diseases.
Dr. Paige Berger and Dr. Luigi Barrea will each receive an honorarium of 2000 CHF, an offer to publish a paper free of charge in Nutrients, and a certificate.
