Overview

Paul A.M. Smeets is affiliated with Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands. Their research spans fields within medicine, primarily focusing on nutrition and dietetics, food science, clinical psychology, gastroenterology, and genetics. The scope of their work integrates a multidisciplinary approach toward understanding human nutrition, sensory function, and related health outcomes.

Their recent publications highlight a variety of topics related to eating behaviors, digestive processes, and biochemical analysis. Notable papers include:

  • Brain Structure in Acutely Underweight and Partially Weight-Restored Individuals With Anorexia Nervosa: A Coordinated Analysis by the ENIGMA Eating Disorders Working Group (2022, Biological Psychiatry)
  • The importance of swelling for in vitro gastric digestion of whey protein gels (2020, Food Chemistry)
  • How oro-sensory exposure and eating rate affect satiation and associated endocrine responses-a randomized trial (2020, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition)
  • Effects of distraction on taste-related neural processing: a cross-sectional fMRI study (2020, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition)
  • Endocrine Cephalic Phase Responses to Food Cues: A Systematic Review (2020, Advances in Nutrition)

Smeets' research explores a range of main topics including proteins in food systems, eating disorders and behaviors, biochemical analysis and sensing techniques, infant nutrition and health, olfactory and sensory function studies, digestive system and related health issues, and muscle metabolism and nutrition.

Frequent co-authors contributing to their work include Elise J.M. van Eijnatten, Guido Camps, Morwarid Mayar, Julia J.M. Roelofs, and Anja E.M. Janssen. Their collaborations appear robust and interdisciplinary, facilitating work that intersects clinical nutrition and food science.

Their publications are commonly found in journals and venues such as Food Hydrocolloids, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Scientific Reports, and Food Chemistry, indicating a strong presence in both peer-reviewed and preprint research outlets.
