About Me
More info forI am a member of the Cancer Control Program at the OSUCCC – James, where my research focuses on dietary interventions to lessen chronic inflammation and chemotherapy side effects in breast cancer survivors.
One of my recent clinical studies revealed that better diet quality was associated with reduced inflammation in postmenopausal breast cancer survivors.
I have co-authored numerous articles in well-respected publications, including JAMA Internal Medicine, Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition and Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
