Cardiometabolic Disease (Obesity, Type 2 Diabetes, Hypertension, and Metabolic Syndrome)
|
research overview
|
My research focuses on uncovering causes and preventive strategies for chronic diseases, including breast and other cancers, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular disease. I study how lifestyle factors (diet and exercise), genetics/epigenetics, social determinants of health, and environmental exposures influence disease risk and prognosis, and how these factors interact with each other. I also aims to reduce cardiovascular health disparities in cancer survivors.
