Wirth, Michael David

Assistant Professor

My research interests include environmental/behavioral and cancer epidemiology, specifically focusing on the relationship between circadian disrupters (i.e., shiftwork, sleep disruption, clock genes) diet, and physical activity. I am particularly interested in relationships with intermediate outcomes associated with cancer development (e.g., inflammation). Additionally, I have a strong interest in exploring associations between the Dietary Inflammatory Index and various health outcomes.
