Anne Vernez-Moudon
Dr. Anne Vernez-Moudon’s interests include built environment, active transport, and health.
Lesley Tinker
Dr. Lesley Tinker’s interests include dietary change, maintenance of dietary change, and lipid metabolism, particularly diet-induced changes in lipoproteins.
Bettina Shell-Duncan
Dr. Bettina Shell-Duncan’s interests include nutritional anthropology, nutrition in the etiology of infectious disease, and nutrition-related immunosuppression.
Ulrike Peters
My research focuses on understanding the underlying risk factors of colorectal cancer that will lead to evidence-based targeted interventions and treatments with a specific focus on the impact of race and ethnicity.
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…

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.
