Research and Teaching interests

I have a varied number of interests in human nutrition, metabolism and related sciences. I have introduced a new Special Topics Course in Advanced Topics in Obesity, and had an amazing time learning alongside my students in a wonderfully interactive, discussion based forum, in an area of emerging and crucial research and development for Canadians.
