Cardiometabolic Disease (Obesity, Type 2 Diabetes, Hypertension, and Metabolic Syndrome)
|
research overview
|
My research program focuses on uncovering the causes and developing preventive strategies for chronic diseases, particularly breast and other cancers, as well as cardiometabolic diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome. I investigate how diet, genetics/epigenetics, and social determinants of health influence the risk and prognosis of these diseases. Furthermore, I aim to reduce disparities in cardiovascular health experienced by cancer survivors following diagnosis and treatment. Ultimately, my goal is to develop evidence-based approaches for the effective prevention and intervention of breast and other cancers and cardiometabolic diseases, while also promoting optimal cardiovascular health in cancer survivors.
