Pamela Schreiner, PhD

My primary research interests are cardiovascular disease etiology related to visceral fat accumulation, dyslipidemia, and the perimenopausal transition as well as structural and functional brain MRI in healthy populations. As director of the School of Public Health’s Center to Study Human-Animal Relationships and Environments (CENSHARE), I am also involved with human-animal interaction research in the area of companion animals. I also teach applied statistical methods.
