Senior Lecturer

Doctoral Supervisor
School of Health Sciences

Ngāti Whātua, Ngāpuhi

My primary research is on food for health and well-being with a focus on the effects of food components on the physiology of the gastrointestinal tract.  My research includes the use of both in vitro and in vivo assessments.  I teach into a range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses in health sciences and physiology and supervise postgraduate research students in physiology and nutrition.

Project Title: NSC - MultiProMo (High-Value Nutrition National Science Challenge)

As we age we lose muscle mass and function, and many older people find that muscle weakness limits their ability to stay physically mobile and remain independent. Protein and the amino acid leucine are the major nutrients required for muscle maintenance, and in this project we will research how to combine proteins together to improve digestibility and protein uptake for older people. Using this research, we will develop scientifically validated high-protein foods that help to support muscle maintenance in seniors while also meeting their flavour and texture preferences. Many countries, especially in New Zealand's major export markets in East Asia, are faced with ageing populations and skyrocketing healthcare costs. The high-protein muscle maintenance foods that we develop will be targeted towards seniors in China, and will contribute to improving the wellbeing of older Chinese as well as providing substantial export revenue to a New Zealand food manufacturer.

Graduate Supervision Statement

I am interested in supervising students who wish to research in the broad areas of physiology, food, nutrient utilisation and health sciences.  I am currently supervising research on the effects of kiwifruit on sleep and the indolamine content in New Zealand grown cherries.  I have previously supervised research on the effects of protein on satiety and the interactions between nutritionally relevant cations and fatty acids.


Dr Sharon Henare is available for Masters and Doctorial supervision.
