Dr. Candida Rebello is a registered dietitian who is trained in basic and clinical research which allows her to adopt a highly collaborative transdisciplinary approach in the conduct of nutrition research. In September 2020, she received a K99/R00 career transition award from the National Institute on Aging to determine if nutritional modulation of peripheral insulin action affects outcomes in the brain. Her interest in the culinary aspects of food complements her passion for exploring its therapeutic value.
