During my PhD studies in Sweden, I studied the impact of nutrition, physical activity, stress, and sleep on the immune system. Specifically, I looked at how these lifestyle factors affect susceptibility to common cold and influenza.
For my postdoc training at Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, I studied ALS and cognitive decline.
