Professor Christine Feinle-Bisset has a PhD in Nutrition and GI Physiology from the University of Stuttgart-Hohenheim, Germany. After gaining research experience at the University of Sheffield, UK and the University of Zurich, Switzerland, she joined the University of Adelaide in 2000, where she is currently a Professorial Research Fellow and a lead investigator in the Centre of Research Excellence in Translating Nutritional Science to Good Health. Her research is clinical and relates to the impact of nutrients on appetite, GI motor and hormone function and perception, in health, obesity and functional dyspepsia. Her work has contributed significantly to current concepts of the role of gastrointestinal mechanisms, including gut hormones and gastrointestinal motor activity, in the regulation of energy intake in health and obesity, and symptom generation in functional dyspepsia. She has published more than 220 publications, with over 15,000 citations. Professor Jens F. Rehfeld has an MD from the University of Aarhus, and later DMSc and DSc in Clinical Biochemistry from the University of Copenhagen. He became professor in Medical Biochemistry at University of Aarhus in 1975, and of Clinical Biochemistry, University of Copenhagen, in 1981. He was also administrative head of the Department of Clinical Biochemistry, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, until 2010. His main research theme is bioactive peptides (in particular gastrin, cholecystokinin, and insulin), their biosynthesis, methods for measurement, and clinical relevance. He has published approximately 1100 publications, including 650 original articles, 90 review articles, 55 textbook chapters, and 8 books, and has more than 43,000 citations.
