Dr. Canan Ziylan

I am a researcher who loves doing (nutritional) health research with older adults while educating others about it.

Applied research is about finding the balance between evidence-based research and real life, a challenge that is always taken for a good reason. For me, that reason is to improve health, well-being, and quality of life. You’re always welcome to contact me about any of these topics.

Currently I’m working as a researcher within Research Centre Innovations in Care and as a lecturer within the Bachelor of Nursing, both at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences.
