Nutritional Sciences

Promotes and supports studies establishing a comprehensive understanding of the role of diet and food components in cancer risk and tumor behavior. Supports basic, translational, and clinical studies to understand the interplay between nutrition and the microbiome, underlying cancer prevention mechanisms, and the interaction between genetics, gene expression, and dietary intake.
