Brief Bio
Kassie is a first-year M.S. Nutrition Non-Thesis graduate student focused on the medical applications of nutrition in the prevention of chronic disease. Her interests include how varying levels of metabolites and coenzymes influence metabolism, individual relationships between diet and overall human health, and how the body adapts to and maintains chronic disease as a new homeostatic state. She hopes to study these mechanisms to identify opportunities for nutritional intervention before chronic disease becomes established. Ultimately, her goal is to contribute to preventative health research that shifts the focus of healthcare from managing disease to preventing it.
