Research: PhD students
Research is the cornerstone of our team and our PhD members are always striving for success; seizing opportunities whenever they arise.
Conference presentations are wonderful opportunities for our members to enhance their public speaking skills, contribute to their professional development, network with others in the field of nutrition and raise awareness to our program and research at FIU.
Our PhD members have presented their research at various annual conferences around the country including the Society for Nutrition Education and Behavior (SNEB) conference, the American Society for Nutrition (ASN) conference and even at the Food and Nutrition Conference and Expo (FNCE).
