NUTRITION

 
 

  


Message from the Department Chair

Welcome to the Department of Nutrition at Case Western Reserve University. Our mission is to promote human health through education and research that bridges the gap between medicine and public health. As Chair of the Department of Nutrition since 1990, it is with a great sense of pride and gratitude that I present to the community-at-large its distinguished faculty and vanguard academic programs. Historically, the nature of this basic science field and its findings have had, and will continue to have, enormous implications for public health. We are committed to offer students and researchers a productive integration of applied sciences and basic research.

The Nutrition Training Program at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine is inter-disciplinary in all aspects of metabolic processes. Graduate students in the PhD program benefit from this learning approach. Our department recognizes that training and research in nutrition must cover a far-reaching spectrum of interests and topics. In addition, the Department of Nutrition also offers programs that span from human nutrition and dietetics to basic nutritional sciences.

Because the science of nutrition has changed since its inception, modern nutritional biochemistry can now help examine the outcome of nutrients in various organ systems. In turn, current research is applied on creating artificial nutrients which will assist in the treatment of nutritional as well as metabolic diseases.

Our teaching and research faculty investigate a broad spectrum of nutrition and/or metabolic science issues as you will note throughout this site.
