Michael J. LaMonte
PhD, MPH
Research Associate Professor
Research Topics
Measurement of physical activity and functional capacity, and their influence on the epidemiology of cardiovascular disease as well as healthy aging with focus in postmenopausal women. Also interested in how studying the human microbiome and metabolome can enhance understanding of mechanisms linking modifiable risk factors to diseases of aging.
