Therese O'Sullivan

Discipline Lead, Nutrition and Dietetics

Associate Professor Therese O'Sullivan is an Accredited Practising Dietitian and nutrition researcher at Edith Cowan University. Her work focuses on improving nutrition and health outcomes for children and families through practical research. Her research spans randomised controlled trials, longitudinal studies and evidence syntheses, with particular interests in dairy foods, dairy fat, breastfeeding and child health.

Therese enjoys asking difficult nutrition questions, particularly those where the answer turns out to be more complicated than a headline or social media post would suggest. She is increasingly convinced that foods should be judged as foods, not simply as a collection of nutrients, and that milk is far more interesting than most people realise.
