Last year, Campus Health and its Counseling and Psychological Services {CAPS) experienced more than 82,000 visits, and the pharmacies dispensed more than 62,000 prescriptions, showing its significant impact on students, post-docs and their spouses and partners. It’s all a part of caring for the Carolina community. We will look at both student health and safety in this presentation that was among the requests from recent BOV surveys.

Steven Zeisel and his research team focus on the essential nutrient choline and are working on several epidemiology studies that examine the relationship between diet, the genes they study and the risk for disease. Zeisel comes to us from the UNC Nutrition Research Institute in Kannapolis which focuses on how genetics and the environment affect an individual’s requirement for and responses to nutrients. Dr. Zeisel has predicted that one day soon, health professionals will use the science discovered at the Institute to provide nutrition recommendations individually tailored to their patients.
