Faculty, Epidemiology

Terry Hartman, PhD, MPH, RD is a Professor of Epidemiology and a faculty member in the Nutrition and Health Sciences program. She is a member of the Winship Cancer Institute, the Emory Prevention Research Center and the HERCULES Exposome Research Center. Dr. Hartman completed her doctoral work at the University of Minnesota with a focus in nutritional epidemiology. She was selected as a Cancer Prevention Fellow by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), completed a Master’s of Public Health at the Harvard School of Public Health as part of this experience, and worked for several years at the NCI in Bethesda, Maryland. Prior to relocating to Emory in 2013, she was Professor of Nutrition and Director of the Diet Assessment Center at The Pennsylvania State University.  As a nutrition epidemiologist, she has over 25 years of experience exploring associations between nutritional exposures and chronic disease outcomes and has designed and collaborated on multi-disciplinary trials to work toward understanding the mechanisms for these associations. Her research is focused on the role of diet and nutrition in the etiology and prevention of chronic diseases—especially cancer—and the development and application of improved dietary assessment methods in chronic disease research.
