Biography

Professor Margaret Rayman has a doctorate in Inorganic Biochemistry from Somerville College, Oxford and has held post-doctoral fellowships at the Institute of Cancer Research and Imperial College.  She is now Professor of Nutritional Medicine at the University of Surrey where she directs the highly respected MSc Programme in Nutritional Medicine.  

 

Her research centres on the importance of trace elements to human health with particular emphasis on selenium in prostate cancer and the pregnancy disease pre-eclampsia.  She is also investigating the relationship between selenium, iodine and thyroid function.  She has published widely, including a paper in Cancer Research that showed a link between prostate cancer risk and selenoprotein genotype.  

 

She has been a judge for the BBC Radio 4 Food and Farming Awards and sits as a magistrate in Surrey.

Research Interests

Since returning from a lengthy career gap (20-years out of research), my work, which has been full-time for the last nine years has focused on trace elements of importance to health, most notably selenium but also iron and latterly, iodine (see selected publications below). 

  • I am currently running a trial of low-dose selenium in pregnancy to see if the risk of the pregnancy disease pre-eclampsia can be reduced.
  • One of my major interests is the importance of selenium in prostate cancer risk and progression (see information below on my book on diet and prostate cancer, funded by the Prostate Cancer Research Foundation).
  • I am also looking at the interaction between iodine, selenium and thyroid function in pregnancy. 

Research Collaborations

I currently collaborate with academics at 17 other universities and two research institutes.

Teaching

  •  BSc degree programmes in Nutrition, Nutrition & Dietetics, Nutrition & Food Science: lecture topics include selenium, iodine and manganese.
  • MSc Nutritional Medicine
    My major contribution to teaching in the University has been the creation of the very successful Nutritional Medicine post-graduate programme, the first (and still unique) university-level, evidence-based course in the UK designed for the in-service training of doctors and other health professionals in the use of nutritional methods of disease prophylaxis and management.

The Programme, of which I am Director, has now been running for 11 years during which time it has been extremely successful, achieving a high profile and excellent reputation. We draw a considerable number of students from Europe and from countries as far away as China, Canada and South Africa. Currently there are 155 registered part-time students, the majority of whom are practising clinicians, including consultants, and a substantial number of gastroenterologists.

  • I organise a number of MSc Nutritional Medicine modules and lecture on topics including selenium, iodine, osteo- and rheumatoid arthritis; diet and prostate cancer; pre-eclampsia.
  • You can read the menu for "The Antioxidant and Phytoprotectant Dinner" which forms part of the learning experience on the “Antioxidants and Phytoprotectants” module.
  • You can find information on Nutritional Medicine at
