Adriyan Pramono is a full-time lecturer with the academic rank of Lektor at the Department of Nutrition Science, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Diponegoro. Born in Semarang on July 4, 1985, he has pursued nutrition studies from undergraduate to doctoral level. He completed his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees at Universitas Diponegoro, and earned his Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Nutrition and Translational Research in Metabolism (NUTRIM) at Maastricht University, the Netherlands, in 2020.
As an academic and researcher, he is actively involved in studies on nutrition, metabolism, obesity, non-communicable diseases, public health, and the interaction between gut microbiota and metabolic health. His research outputs have been published in reputable international journals and contribute to addressing global health challenges. His focus areas include biomedical nutrition, molecular nutrition, obesity, insulin resistance, nutrigenomics, and lifestyle-based interventions such as diet and exercise for metabolic disorders.
His academic track record is also reflected in strong bibliometric achievements. Based on data from the Undergraduate Nutrition Study Program at Undip, he has produced 83 Google Scholar-indexed publications and 50 Scopus-indexed publications.
