Laboratory for Applied Nutrition and Exercise Science
Real-world metabolic research
and hands-on training
The Laboratory for Applied Nutrition and Exercise Science (LANES) advances the understanding of diet, physical activity and metabolic health while providing undergraduate and graduate students applied, clinical research experience.
Detecting and preventing cardiometabolic risk
We study ways in which diet, physical activity and aging modify one’s risk for common cardiometabolic conditions. Our lab focuses on detecting and mitigating risks for common and costly conditions including:
- Heart disease
- Diabetes
- Obesity
- Stroke
- Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
- Metabolic syndrome
- Dyslipidemia
Technology and capabilities
The lab is equipped to measure an array of clinical outcomes related to human health.
- Doppler ultrasound
- DEXA body composition analysis
- Bioelectrical impedance analysis
- Accelerometry/physical activity tracking
- Phlebotomy/blood collection
- Metabolic risk factor panels
- Resting metabolic rate
- Maximal aerobic exercise (VO2max) testing
