Research summary
AI-generated

Dorothy Teegarden's research focuses on how vitamin D (specifically 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D) affects the metabolism and progression of breast cancer cells, including how cancer cells adapt their energy production (such as fatty acid synthesis and glutamine use) when spreading to other tissues like bone and lungs. Her group also studies related nutrition topics, such as obesity and maternal diet effects on offspring, and has contributed to interdisciplinary undergraduate education efforts around nutrition science.
