Degree:
PhD, Cornell University

Position:
Associate Professor

Department:
Agricultural, Food and Nutritional Science

Primary Research Area:
Human Nutrition

Research Interests:
My research focuses on the role of nutrition in affecting the development of diabetes and its complications. Specific areas of interest include1) the effects of nutrition during weaning on physiological processes such as insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion and 2) the role of high fructose intake in promoting the development of diabetic complications in the eye and kidney. This research has implications for effectively targeting strategies to prevent Type 2 diabetes in later life, and to reduce the complications of diabetes through appropriate nutritional intake.
