Kasuen Mauldin, Ph.D., R.D. Assistant Professor. Dr. Mauldin received her Ph.D. in
Molecular and Biochemical Nutrition from University of California, Berkeley and completed
her dietetics training at University of California, San Francisco Medical Center. She
currently holds a joint appointment as a Research Scientist at Children's Hospital
Oakland Research Institute and also teaches Dietetic Interns at UCSF Medical Center. Dr.
Mauldin's research background is in lipoprotein metabolism, and her current
interests include nutrition intervention studies and understanding the mechanisms
involved in the development of obesity and the metabolic syndrome.
