About Me

I am an assistant professor in the Department of Nutrition and Food Science at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. I have a PhD in Nutritional Biology from the University of California, Davis. My PhD dissertation research involved investigating the effects of soy isoflavones on liver detoxification enzyme activities in rodent and cell culture models. My research interests include the mechanisms by which flavonoids and fatty acids impact the risk factors for cancer and cardiovascular disease. I also teach courses in Basic Nutrition, Nutrition Research, Nutrient Metabolism, and Nutritional Genomics.
