Cecilia Alamag

I earned my Bachelor's degree in Nutrition from the University of the Philippines and obtained certification to become a registered nutritionist-dietitian in 2005. Since then, I had been working as a freelance Nutrition Counselor while taking on some industry employment. I finished my Masters Degree in Applied Nutrition minor in Biochemistry in 2017 also from the University of the Philippines, where I specialized in the study of nutrient metabolism and fat synthesis and degradation. My research focused on the study of Type 2 Diabetes and how iron intake can influence blood glucose control. As a research exchange student, I took a short training at Chonbuk University in South Korea under the supervision of a Harvard graduate professor heading one of the sections in Bio Foods Research Lab.
