The program mission is to develop scientists who are able to contribute to the scholarly generation of nutrition science knowledge, spanning the overlapping disciplines of human nutrition, nutritional biochemistry, food safety, human physiology, exercise physiology and community nutrition; and the translation of this knowledge with respect to health, disease prevention and treatment. Nutrition scientists who have a PhD can be involved in research, education, industry, community health, and/or clinical practice. With the current epidemic of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus, the need for PhD-educated nutritionists who can discover and design new treatment interventions is of major public health interest.
