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. Bornfeldt’s research is devoted to cardiovascular complications associated with diabetes. Her group uses a combination of human studies and research on mechanistic mouse models. Dr. Bornfeldt’s current work is focused on the role of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins in cardiovascular risk associated with diabetes in youth and adults.
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…
Marian L. Neuhouser
Dr. Marian Neuhouser conducts studies to investigate the role of lifestyle factors, including diet, physical activity, and energy balance, in the etiology and prevention of cancer. Her research portfolio includes a variety of observational and intervention studies focused on improving methods for dietary and physical activity assessment, understanding the extent to which diet and physical…
Jason Mendoza, MD, MPH
Dr. Jason Mendoza’s research seeks to improve outcomes for childhood physical activity and nutrition among a variety of populations, including people living with diabetes, cancer patients, and cancer survivors through innovative behavioral interventions and policies in school and home settings. His work uses approaches that places participants’ cultures centrally in research interventions and assessments via…
Eating Fatty Fish Linked to Reduced Risk of Death, UW Study Finds
Johanna W. Lampe
Dr. Johanna Lampe’s research interests relate to the mechanisms by which components of diet, particularly constituents of plant foods, alter susceptibility to and risk of cancer. Her primary research activities include using controlled dietary interventions in humans to determine how individual variation in the gut microbiome and biochemical response to high plant food diets (e.g.,…
