How does the body deal with toxic substances?
What is the connection between diet, genetics and chronic diseases like
cancer, diabetes and osteoporosis?
How do nutrients affect fetal and neurological development?
Our research and curriculum span a breadth of topics from the delivery of nutrients to mammalian cells and their molecular functions, through the influence of genetics on diet-associated human disease, to programs and policies that address human and environmental health and safety.
We invite you to explore our academic programs and encourage you to pursue a course of study in this exciting and vital discipline of experimental nutrition and metabolic biology.
