BIOGRAPHY

Silvia Barbazza is a Public Health Nutritionist pursuing her PhD at Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam. Her research aims to provide comprehensive insights into the impact of an alternative formulation of locally produced Ready-To-Use Therapeutic Food (RTUF), using local ingredients. The research focuses on acceptability short and long-term aspects of recovery, including body composition, the risk for later-life non-communicable diseases, and host-microbiome. One of the current research projects is the Solutions to Enhance Health with Alternative Treatments (SEHAT), a double-blinded randomised controlled trial in Indonesia for gut microbiota-targeted treatment of severe acute malnutrition using rice bran in ready-to-use therapeutic foods.
