Meet Melissa Wei!
As a MPH student in the Epidemiology and Biostatistics track at OHSU, excelled in the area of research. Aside from her outstanding achievements at OHSU, Melissa has also impressed the public health community with her efforts as a research assistant at the Harvard School of Public Health.
Her research on calcium and magnesium intake and the risk of colorectal adenomas has important implications for cancer control and public health. She has a great passion for integrating nutrition and prevention principles into the practice of medicine. Melissa has a very bright future ahead of her as a nutritional epidemiologist and researcher, a future that is amply supported by her growing body of scholarly work.
