Scholarly Interests

Our research team primarily addresses the public health problem of obesity. We have ongoing applied studies to help the Indiana Department of Education monitor changes in children's food intake behaviors due to the USDA Team Nutrition Program funding, and previously to studied implementation of USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program and Game On interventions in Indiana schools. Back in the laboratory we study the large data sets generated by the children's responses to questionnaires. The other focus in our laboratory is in the development of a model to study the effects of repeated snacking and types of diets on peripheral vascular health. We are following the body's vascular response by a test that is conducted before and after eating. We feed meals prepared in our food laboratory to subjects and measure changes in fingertip blood volume to determine the physiological response to our meals. We are trained to draw blood from our subjects to measure changes in blood factors in response to the meals. We work collaboratively with the Daleke laboratory group in the Medical Sciences Program. You may sometimes spot our subject recruitment posters located around the campus. We also work with EBIOS faculty Ka He and Pencheng Xun. We have studied factors that contribute to mothers' continuation of exclusive breastfeeding with former doctoral student Yeon Bai; she is now tenured at Montclair State University. We have collaborated with the Mickleborough, Stager, and Wallace laboratories in the kinesiology unit, the Middlestadt laboratory and Gassman laboratory of the Prevention Resource Center in the social-behavioral unit of our School.
