The Clinical and Translational Science Institute’s Bionutrition and Body Composition Lab is based out of the Adult Translational Research Unit (ATRU) and provides services to researchers from all CTSI affiliated institutions and community organizations.
The CTSI Bionutritionist assists with planning, developing, implementing, and evaluating the nutrition and body composition components of research protocols and community programs. The ATRU houses a metabolic kitchen dedicated to providing general or protocol specific meals. It also has a body composition lab where whole body DXA scans, anthropometric measurements, bioelectrical impedance analysis, and energy assessment take place.
