Research Interest

Research is focused on the nutritional and life-style modifiers of chronic diseases (particularly those involving bone and body composition) and spans from basic science and animal models to clinical trials in human subjects and outreach into disadvantaged community. My research is oriented toward the same goals: furthering our knowledge toward optimizing bone health and body composition (fat and muscle tissue) through nutritional and behavioral modifications, including physical activity, to result in long term lifestyle changes.
