Professor Rosalind Gibson is an emerita professor in the Department of Human Nutrition, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand. Previously she was a faculty member in the Division of Applied Human Nutrition (1979-1995), University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada. She has an M.S. in public health (nutrition) from the School of Public Health, University of California, Los Angeles, and a PhD in Nutrition from the University of London, United Kingdom. She has had a life-long interest in nutritional assessment, initiated early in her career while working for three years in the Ethio-Swedish Children’s Nutrition Unit in Ethiopia. Here she compiled the first set of Ethiopian analyzed food composition tables, participated in nutrition surveys, and assisted in the development of a nutrient-dense complementary food that is still produced today. Subsequently, she has been involved in collaborative micronutrient research in Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Asia in partnership with universities and non-government organizations. Publication of her standard reference text, Principles of Nutritional Assessment by Oxford University Press, led to her teaching short courses on this topic in many of the countries in which she was collaborating, with a long-standing commitment to graduate programs in Ethiopia and Indonesia. She was the departmental co-director of the WHO Collaborating Centre for Nutrition in the Western Pacific Region until 2017, and is a recipient of the McHenry Award by the Canadian Society of Nutritional Sciences, the Rank Prize from the British Nutrition Society, and the Lifetime Achievements in Global Nutrition Research Award by the American Society for Nutrition. Dr Gibson is a fellow of ASN, a fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand, and an emerita member of the International Zinc Nutrition Consultative Group. She is currently engaged with colleagues in the 3rd edition of Principles of Nutritional Assessment, chapters of which are freely available on-line.
