Dr. Ose is a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Population Health Sciences at the University of Utah. By training she is a nutritionist and cancer epidemiologist, with prior work focusing on integrating molecular biomarkers into epidemiologic cancer research. Her research projects have spanned etiology to survivorship, including both observational research and clinical trials in colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, and ovarian cancer. Dr. Ose continues to work with leaders in the fields of nutrition and cancer epidemiology (Huntsman Cancer Institute, German Cancer Research Center, International Agency for Research on Cancer, and the University of Heidelberg in Germany). She recently received NIH funding to investigate associations of the plasma metabolome with colorectal cancer risk and the impact of diet on these associations. Dr. Ose launched and chaired working groups in multiple consortia such as the NIH-funded COnsortium of METabolomics Studies (COMETS) and the METABOlomics in Colorectal Cancer Consortium (MetaboCCC). She is further working on the role of body composition, biomarkers, and cachexia in newly-diagnosed patients with colorectal cancer. Since last year she is working on a study to investigate reproductive concerns and fertility preservation in patients diagnosed with early-onset colorectal cancer.
