Scientific Advisory Board

Members of the Scientific Advisory Board serve as an objective and external validation for The Cooper Institute’s ideas, study designs, and published reports and articles. They provide expertise in clinical medicine, epidemiology, biostatistics, exercise physiology, genetics, and health education. All are accomplished investigators with multiple years experience in conducting studies similar to those conducted at The Institute.

The Scientific Advisory Board members are contacted throughout the year for their feedback on grant applications, research articles, and ongoing projects. These volunteer Board members improve the quality of the Institute’s work, and we are grateful for their many contributions.
