Semira R. Ortiz, PhD (she/her/hers)

Graduate Research Fellow
Cornell University
Ithaca, New York, United States

I am a recent PhD graduate in Molecular Nutrition at Cornell University. My work in Dr. Martha Field's lab focuses on the mechanisms regulating synthesis of the cardiometabolic disease biomarker erythritol. My broad research interest is identifying novel targets for the prevention and treatment of obesity and diabetes. I will be transitioning to work as an Obesity T32 fellow at Pennington Biomedical Research Center in the fall.
