Tracy Li is a PhD candidate in Exercise Physiology and Applied Nutrition at George Washington University. She earned my MSPH in Human Nutrition from Johns Hopkins University, where she developed a strong foundation in public health nutrition and gerontology, and holds a B.S. in Clinical Nutrition from UC Davis. Tracy's research explores the relationship between nutrition and age-related functional declines. Currently, she is working on a project examining the associations between dietary patterns, metabolomics, and changes in physical function in older adults over time, under the mentorship of Dr. Talegawkar.
