Community of Science Expertise Profile

Ellen Velie joined
the Department of Epidemiology at Michigan State University
in August, 2000. Before coming to MSU she conducted
her PhD research on nutrition and birth defects in Latina
and white women in California, and then completed
postdoctoral training through the Cancer Prevention
Fellowship in the Nutritional Epidemiology Branch at the
National Cancer Institute. Examples of her previous
research include the role of nutrient intakes (e.g. fat and
zinc) and dietary patterns in the etiology of birth defects
and breast cancer.
She has also studied methodologic issues related to
nutritional epidemiology,
such as dietary assessment, energy-adjustment and
alternative approaches to examining dose response trends.
Current areas of interest include the interrelationship
between social factors (e.g. race and social class) and
energy balance-related factors (e.g. obesity, insulin
resistance, and physical activity), as they relate to cancer
and other diseases.
