Advancing the field and promoting health equity
The Department of Nutritional Sciences explores the relationship between diet, health, and disease across the domains of behavior, population, and metabolism. Our research drives meaningful changes in nutritional sciences, blending cutting-edge pre-clinical and clinical studies, interdisciplinary collaboration, and real-world public health strategies. From improving food access to addressing chronic disease through better nutrition, our work directly impacts the health of communities. We accelerate discoveries into action, turning science into solutions that create healthier futures for all.
