Environmental Health Sciences 
Human Nutrition - Faculty
Karen Peterson, D.Sc.
Nutrition: determinants of intergenerational patterns of growth in mothers and children, design and evaluation of domestic and international surveillance systems, and community-based interventions in low-income, multi-ethnic populations.
Susan Aaronson, M.A., R.D.
School and community based pediatric obesity prevention
Suzanne Cole, Ph.D.
Dietary assessment, genetic analysis of health-related complex traits; role of lifestyle factors in the development of type 2 diabetes among adolescents.
Rachel Davis, Ph.D.
Dr. Davis’s research explores how cultural factors influence the effectiveness of tailored health behavior interventions and the acquisition of health-related data via interviewer-administered surveys. She is also interested in developing new survey-based measures of cultural constructs. Her work currently focuses on dietary behaviors and chronic disease management among Latino and African American populations.
Dana Dolinoy, Ph.D.
Environmental epigenetics/epigenomics, developmental origins of adult disease, role of diet and nutrition in modulating chemical exposure and epigenetic events including DNA methylation and chromatin structure.
Theresa Han Markey, M.S.,R.D.
Adult and pediatric parenteral and enteral nutrition support; design, production and delivery of metabolic research diets.
Peter Mancuso, Ph.D.
Inflammation and infection of the lung, arachidonic acid metabolism in alveolar macrophages and neutrophils, role of eicosanoids in pulmonary host defense, malnutrition, host defense mechanisms in bacterial pneumonia, leptin and immune function.
