Rachel M. Cole's research examines how dietary fats, especially linoleic acid (a common polyunsaturated fatty acid found in vegetable oils), affect metabolism, inflammation, and disease outcomes in conditions such as breast cancer, fatty liver disease, sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss), and cancer-related muscle wasting. Much of this work involves randomized controlled trials in humans as well as mouse models, using tools like lipidomics (detailed measurement of fat molecules in blood and tissue) to track biological changes. The lab also explores related topics such as chemotherapy-related heart damage, cognitive effects of nut consumption, and social/behavioral factors in health.
