Maria Daniel Vaz de Almeida holds a BSc in Nutritional Sciences (Porto University, 1979) and a PhD in Nutrition (King's College London, 1989). She is Professor of Community Nutrition since 2004 at FCNAUP. Her professional career has mostly evolved within the academic field with strong links to the community. Determinants of food choice, the richness and variety of food patterns around the globe, and the influence of eating habits in human lives are her main interests of study.
