Felice Nellie Jacka OAM is an Australian academic, founder and president of the International Society for Nutritional Psychiatry Research. She is a professor of Nutritional Psychiatry and the director of the Food & Mood Centre at Deakin University.[1]

Jacka focused her research work in the field of nutritional psychiatry, establishing diet as a risk factor and treatment target for common mental disorders. In 2017, she led a trial showing that an improved diet could treat major depression,[2] finding that healthier eating habits can result in a 30% reduced risk of depression.[3]

Articles in the Australian press about Jacka's studies include The Guardian,[4] The Sydney Morning Herald[5] and ABC News.[6] With over 260 publications, she is an ISI Highly Cited Researcher for all years between 2020 and 2023,[7] ranking her in the top 0.1% of publishing scientists worldwide.[8]

In 2021 Jacka was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for her service to nutritional psychiatry research.[9]
