Cheryl Ann Marie Anderson is an American epidemiologist. Anderson is a professor at and founding Dean of the University of California San Diego Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity Science. Anderson's research focus is on nutrition and chronic disease prevention in under-served human populations.

Education

Anderson completed a bachelor of arts with honors in health and society from Brown University in 1992. She earned a master of public health in 1994 from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In 1997, Anderson completed a master of science in the department of epidemiology at University of Washington.[1] Her master's thesis was titled Dietary factors in Parkinson's disease: the role of food groups and specific foods.[2] She obtained a doctor of philosophy from the University of Washington department of epidemiology interdisciplinary program in nutritional sciences in 2001.[1] Her dissertation was titled The response of blood folate levels to folic acid supplementation: results from a crossover trial.[3] Anderson completed a postdoctoral fellowship at University of Washington in 2002.[1]

Career

Anderson was an affiliate member in the Cancer Prevention Research Program at

UC San Diego School of Medicine.[1]

In 2019, Anderson founded The Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity Science at UC San Diego with the goal of furthering research and education focused on preventing disease, prolonging life, and promoting health through organized community efforts.[4]

Research

Anderson's research focus is in epidemiology, specifically working on the understanding of nutrition and prevention of chronic disease in under-served populations. Her work uses observational epidemiological studies, randomized clinical trials and implementation science.[5] She is involved in several research projects including the California Teachers Study and the RESOLVE to save 100 million lives D&I initiative. Additionally she will be beginning a clinical trial to determine how dietary sodium is used in the body in September 2020.[6]

Anderson's work delves into the effects of dietary patterns, sodium, and potassium intake on blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases, behavioral interventions for adherence to dietary recommendations, and identification of nutritional risk factors and for progression of kidney disease and development of cardiovascular events in individuals with chronic kidney disease.[1]
