An epidemiologist by training, her research focuses on addressing disparities in chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, depression, and cancer among racial/ethnic minority families. She leads Stanford’s Food for Health Equity Lab (a 2021 Stage 2 investment) which strives to generate evidence that community health centers can use to improve people’s nutrition and health.
