Signature Research Areas
Research in the Department of Nutrition Science is aimed at advancing and translating new nutrition knowledge to promote health and treat disease to positively impact health in a diverse world. We focus our research in four Signature Areas that help us plan for the future by directing resources and shaping faculty hires. The four Signature Areas are:
-
Metabolism and Obesity
