Senior Scientist
Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
Baltimore, Maryland, United States
Dr. Kerry Schulze received her PhD from the Program in Human Nutrition, Department of International Health, at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in 2003 and has since been on the faculty in that program, currently as an Associated Scientist. She is responsible for maintaining the Micronutrient Research Laboratory in the Center for Human Nutrition, which supports population-based randomized, controlled trials, including those conducted at the JiVitA field site in NW Bangladesh. Dr. Schulze’s expertise is in the assessment of micronutrient status in vulnerable populations, including women of reproductive age, during pregnancy, and in infants, children, and adolescents. Other research interests include uncovering mechanisms that underlie growth or inhibit optimal growth during key periods of life, including infancy and young childhood and adolescence. In this regard, her work has ranged from studying biomarkers of enteric dysfunction and aflatoxin exposure during early life in relation to child growth to calcium metabolism and bone development during adolescent growth. She teaches "Assessment of Nutritional Status" and lectures on "Nutrition during Adolescence" as part of the required curriculum in the Program in Human Nutrition.
