Research Interests

The focus of my lab is to better understand the health benefits from whole foods, especially those health benefits resulting from phytochemicals contained in fresh fruits and vegetables. Plant bioactives and their relationship to health and/or their beneficial impact on chronic diseases. Identifying functional food components that decrease oxidative stress, in vitro and in vivo. Bioavailability of phytochemicals. Nutrient quality of sustainable food systems.  Quantitative and qualitative phytochemical profiling of whole foods.  Phytochemical composition differences between organic foods and conventional foods. Phytonutrient content and product development with Elderberry, Aronia. Phytonutrient content of cold hardy plums.  Zebrafish model and nutrient interaction.
