The Nutrition, Metabolism and Cancer Prevention Program is focused on the intersections of nutrition, human health, and public health challenges. Dr. Murphy's program of research draws on her PhD training in Nutrition and postdoctoral training at the National Institutes of Health in Epidemiology. Her research uses systems biology approaches, epidemiologic and administrative health data to a) provide novel insight on diet and health relationships including mechanisms underlying relationships, and b) identify novel strategies to promote health, particularly healthy eating.
