Our
research focuses on omega-3 fatty
acids in health and disease. We are interested in the
anti-inflammatory effects of omega-3 fatty acids, the dose response
rates and availability from diet and supplementation. We have focused
primarily on omega-3 supplementation in rheumatoid arthritis and
osteoarthritis in humans and in the Lew SSN rat model. We are expanding
our omega-3 fatty acid research interests to the areas of oncology and
hepatology. Further areas of interest are functional foods and
nutrition through the lifecycle.
