Dr. Anderson's research centers around nutrition-related issues in chronic disease prevention in minority and under-served populations. She is the principal investigator of the NHLBI-funded study of the effects of dietary sodium and potassium intake on subclinical and clinical cardiovascular disease. She is a co-investigator on the NIDDK-funded national, multicenter Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort Study which aims to identify risk factors and mechanisms of progressive renal disease and cardiovascular events in individuals with chronic kidney disease; and a co-investigator on the NHLBI-funded OMNI-Carb study - a randomized feeding study that compares the effects of type (glycemic index) and amount of carbohydrate on cardiovascular risk factors. Additionally, Dr. Anderson is the principal investigator of a study testing a unique biomarker (using carbon isotopic data) of intake of sweets (funded by Innovation Grant Awards from the American Diabetes Association and the JHU Center for a Livable Future).
