Dr. Emily Ho, the 2023 University Distinguished Professor of Nutrition, is a renowned expert in nutritional approaches to chronic disease prevention and cancer prevention. As a professor in the College of Public Health and Human Sciences and the director of the Linus Pauling Institute, she has received numerous grants totaling over $22 million from federal and foundation sources.
In her research, Dr. Ho has discovered the significant impact of diet on chronic diseases, with a particular focus on colon, prostate, and breast cancer. Nutrients like zinc play a vital role in DNA integrity and immune function, while dietary compounds found in soy, teas, and cruciferous vegetables have been shown to target genetic and epigenetic processes that can limit cancer development.
