Research Interests and Expertise:
Dr. Asemi major research interests involve epidemiology and prevention of the metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease through diet, lifestyle and supplements. He has focused on diet and lifestyle determinants of the metabolic syndrome, pregnancy especially gestational diabetes mellitus. Several detailed analyses in this field have been done, including intakes of whole-grains, dairy, fruits and vegetables and dietary patterns and supplements. His current research has expanded to investigate the link between diet, particularly dietary patterns, and biomarkers of systemic inflammation and oxidative stress.
