Investigators in the Center for Human Nutrition are committed to understanding the study of abnormal metabolism and to elicit the contributions of nutrition and genetics in human beings. Our faculty can all be classified as clinical investigators but make use of approaches extending from intensive interaction with patients to high-technology molecular biology. This amalgam of talent and close collaboration creates a clinical-research team that is rare in academic medical centers today. They make possible fundamental new insights into the causation of nutritionally related chronic diseases.
