An Assistant Professor at the University of Helsinki and the founder and Principal Investigator of the DogRisk Research Group, one of the world’s most prominent research programs examining the long-term effects of processed, fresh, and raw diets on canine health. Her research spans allergies, gastrointestinal health, metabolic disorders, scent-detection work, and the role of nutrition in chronic disease development.

“Natural, minimally processed diets can play a major role in reducing allergies, improving gut health, and lowering long-term disease risk in pets. By working together, we can bring the benefits of fresh nutrition to many more dogs and cats.”
