Using multi-omics to improve nutrition for cancer survivors with overweight and obesity

Who could benefit from this research

What this research studies

This research focuses on developing a nutrition intervention specifically for cancer survivors who are overweight or obese. It aims to integrate multi-omic data, which includes genetic, metabolic, and lifestyle information, to better understand how dietary and physical activity changes can improve health outcomes. By tailoring interventions based on individual biological responses, the project seeks to create a sustainable program that can be implemented in clinical settings. Participants will engage in a comprehensive health behavior change program that combines diet and exercise to enhance their survivorship experience.
