M.Sc. & Ph.D Degree Program

I am always on the lookout for bright and self-motivated graduate students. You can choose to develop your own project or do research on one of my ongoing projects. Typically I have 6-7 graduate students in my lab at any given time and work closely with each of them to develop and carry out research projects that can be published in top-tier peer-reviewed journals. Candidates should have strong writing and quantitative analysis skills, with an ability to work well under minimal supervision. Please see the Department of Nutritional Sciences website for admission requirements.
