Rooted in Arizona, with impact around the globe.

Promoting lifelong wellness.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution for improving health and quality of life. Nutrition and exercise needs are unique to each individual and are influenced by any number of genetic, epigenetic, environmental and lifestyle factors. Touching on areas ranging from genetics and molecular biology, to immunology, to diet-related disease, to optimizing performance across the lifespan - what we do here can impact the world over.

Interdisciplinary by nature.

Food and physical activity influence every aspect of human health and wellbeing, and our research activities reflect that. In the lab, the clinic and the community, our researchers are engaged in uncovering and understanding these complex connections to help people pursue the lives they want to lead.

Learn how we're bridging disciplinary boundaries to produce purpose-driven science with real-world impact.
