About Our Founder, Dr. Steven Zeisel

Steven Zeisel, MD, PhD is a Professor in Nutrition and Pediatrics, the Founding Director of the University of North Carolina's Nutrition Research Institute and a world-renowned scientist.

Dr. Zeisel has advanced our knowledge regarding gene misspellings and how they alter dietary requirements. He is internationally recognized for his research in nutrigenetics, nutrient requirements and has proven that humans require choline to maintain their health.

Based on his research, the US Institute of Medicine set a dietary requirement for choline and the American Academy of Pediatrics defined the need for choline in developing healthy brains.

He has authored more than 350 scientific publications, and his research has been supported by over $16 M grants from the US National Institutes of Health. He also serves on the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) Journal editorial board.

Dr. Zeisel earned his MD from Harvard Medical School, was a resident in pediatrics at Yale University, and earned his PhD in nutrition at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Dr. Zeisel’s awards include:

The American College of Nutrition’s Award for Outstanding Achievements in Nutrition.

The American Society for Nutrition’s Osborne and Mendel Award

The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences’ (NIEHS) Falk Award

American Society for Nutrition Foundation GILBERT A. LEVEILLE award for excellence in nutrition research
