Rozenn Lemaitre
Dr. Rozenn Lemaitre is interested in new modifiable lipidomic biomarkers that may influence diabetes incidence, cardiovascular disease and healthy aging. In addition to fatty acid biomarkers of diet, we study lipid biomarkers of metabolism such as sphingolipids and “EETs”, a type of arachidonic acid derivative. We are particularly interested in relating the overall diet quality,…
Jonathan Gorstein
Dr. Jonathan Gorstein’s interests include design and implementation of interventions to control micronutrient malnutrition in developing countries, development of rapid tools to access micronutrient status in low-resource settings, and support of national nutrition programs for planning and strategy formation.
Anne Goodchild
Dr. Anne Goodchild’s research addresses the nexus of private and public actors and infrastructure in the movement of goods, including food. Recent research has evaluated the impact of changing shopping and delivery patterns, CO2 emissions in strategic routing and schedule planning in urban pick-up and delivery systems, logistics sprawl, and the relationship between freight activity…
Amanda Fretts
Laura den Hartigh
Dr. Laura den Hartigh studies mechanisms by which macronutrients such as glucose and fatty acids influence cellular metabolism in the settings of obesity and weight loss. Her lab uses cell culture models, including adipocytes and monocytes/macrophages, and mouse models of obesity to study the complex interplay between excessive nutrient ingestion, gut microbe health, adipose tissue…
Lingtak-Neander Chan
Dr. Lingtak-Neander Chan’s interests include the absorption kinetics of micronutrients and drugs after bariatric surgery and other GI tract repairs. Other key areas of interest include micronutrient deficiencies, intestinal failure, critical care nutrition.
Karin Bornfeldt
Dr. Karin Bornfeldt studies mechanisms whereby diabetes promotes cardiovascular disease in mouse models and at the cellular and molecular level and how this can be prevented; the effects of glucose, fatty acids, advanced glycation endproducts, and insulin on monocytes/macrophages, endothelial cells, and arterial smooth muscle cells; and intracellular signal transduction pathways.
Wendy Barrington
Dr. Wendy Barrington’s research evaluates to what degree social position, structures, and systems perpetuate cancer health disparities via stress, obesity, and related behaviors. Her research falls within two main schema: promoting healthy communities and racial disparities in clinical outcomes.
Michael Rosenfeld
Dr. Michael Rosenfeld studies nutrition and cardiovascular disease, the role of nutrition in regulation of gene expression, lipid and lipoprotein metabolism, and the pathology of atherosclerosis. The current focus of the Rosenfeld Lab is on the accelerated vascular disease associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes, and chronic kidney disease. Specifically, the lab is studying the…
Jisun Paik
Dr. Jisun Paik studies vitamin A and its role in health and diseases. Her two main research areas are the role of retinoic acid, one of the metabolites of vitamin A, in reproduction and weight regulation and the role of gut microbiome in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). She is currently working on developing small molecules…
