Monthly Luncheon & Program

Join us for our monthly Luncheon and Program on November 19, 2024

Linus Pauling Institute Endowed Chair and Director OSU Distinguished Professor of Nutrition, College of Health

Deputy Director, Pacific Northwest Center for Transitional Environmental Health

Corvallis, Oregon

Topic:  The Biology of Healthy Aging: the Power of Food and Nutrition in Disease Prevention and Healthy Aging.

Emily Ho, PhD is the Director of the Linus Pauling Institute and professor in the College of Public Health and Human Sciences at Oregon State University.  Her research focuses on understanding the mechanisms by which nutrient status and healthy foods affect the initiation and/or progression of chronic diseases such as cancer.

Her work has helped drive dietary requirements and recommendations for micronutrients such as zinc for communities with susceptibility to poor nutrition.  An important strength to her approach in her research is maintaining a mechanistic focus on diet/environment interactions, and encouraging to work in multi-disciplinary teams to facilitate the translation of cellular mechanistic studies to impact human populations. 

Prior to becoming director of the LPI, she was the Endowed Director of the Moore Family Center for Whole Grain Foods, Nutrition and Prevention in the College of Public Health and Human Sciences.  Dr. Ho obtained her BS in Nutritional Sciences at the University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada, obtained her doctorate in Nutrition Sciences at Ohio State University in 2000. 

Seating:  Limited to 69 members.

Cost: $30 without dessert and $35 with dessert.  We ask members to pay for monthly luncheons in advance online with a credit card. Paying in advance is necessary to ensure that our meal count is confirmed and helps to save volunteer time, as the treasurers do not have to manage money at the door. We thank you in advance for understanding. Please reach out to Mary Elizabeth Horan at programs@sunriverwomensclub.org if you need help registering.
