Education. Research. Outreach.

Nutrition and physical activity are essential to health and wellbeing. We put science to work to uncover the complex interactions between food, exercise, lifestyle, environment and human biology to promote wellness at every stage of life. Our work has real-world impact, from developing diet and exercise protocols that support medical interventions and improve quality of life to leading the charge toward a revolution in precision nutrition. Our interdisciplinary approach gives students access to a wide variety of opportunities across campus and in their communities through relationships with organizations like the BIO5 Institute, the University of Arizona Campus Farm and the Southern Arizona Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
