MINORITY PREDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM

我的研究兴趣在于研究两者之间的关系 饮食/营养和疾病结果。营养不良的具体影响 而营养缺乏对免疫功能的影响是特别的 利息。特定营养素与免疫功能的关系 是疾病过程中的一个关键因素，因为这些相互作用发挥着 在维持正常生理功能方面的关键作用。 对这种关系的研究需要理解 营养不良或营养缺乏者的定义和评估 患者群体中的状态。我对学习很感兴趣，希望 改进临床上可用的营养评估方法。一个 掌握营养评估技术很重要，因为 对患者营养状况的了解是决定患者健康状况的主要因素 评估适当的营养治疗措施。 在可能缺乏医疗用品的情况下，特定的营养物质 可作为补充剂或作为营养成分 康复。这可能导致免疫能力的提高，并导致 降低疾病成本、发病率和死亡率。处于疾病状态 当药物可能有毒或不可用时，使用特定的 营养可能导致免疫功能的改善和更好的 临床结果。

My research interests lie in studying the relationship between diet/nutrition and disease outcomes. The specific effects of malnutrition and nutritional deficiencies on immune function are of particular interest. The relationship between specific nutrients and immune function is a key factor in disease processes, as these interactions play a critical role in the maintenance of normal physiologic functions. The study of such relationships requires an understanding of the definition and assessment of the malnourished or nutrient -deficient state in patient populations. I am interested in learning, and hopefully improving, the clinically available methods of nutritional assessment. A mastery of nutritional assessment techniques is important because knowledge of a patient's nutritional status is a major determinant in the evaluation of appropriate nutritional therapeutic measures. In situations where medical supplies may be lacking, specific nutrients may be administered as supplements or as a component of nutritional rehabilitation. This may lead to improved immune competence and to a decrease in disease costs, morbidity, and mortality. In disease states where medication may be toxic or unavailable, the use of a specific nutrient may result in an improvement in immune function and a better clinical outcome.
