Trainee Representative: Jade Truong, BS
Jade Truong is a third-year Ph.D. student in the Human Physiology department at the University of Oregon. She is interested in learning about maternal diets as well as fetal development and metabolism at the cellular level. Specifically, her research focuses on the impact of maternal metformin and Western-style diets during pregnancy on fetal skeletal muscle growth and metabolism. Using the non-human primate model, she can investigate the changes at the cellular level and identify the mechanisms of how maternal diets and drugs used in pregnancy can alter fetal skeletal growth. As Trainee Representative, she hopes to contribute her efforts to encourage other graduate students, expand the inclusive and diverse environment, and provide more opportunities for future scientists in learning fetal health and disease.
