Member Spotlight
STEFAN M. PASIAKOS, PhD
Nutritional Physiologist, Military
Nutrition Division, U.S. Army Institute of
Environmental Medicine
Dr. Stefan Pasiakos is a Nutritional
Physiologist and Principal Investigator in
the Military Nutrition Division at the
United States Army Research Institute
of Environmental Medicine (USARIEM).
Dr. Pasiakos’ undergraduate training
focused on physiology, with Bachelor’s
and Master’s degrees in human exercise
physiology. He then studied under the
mentorship of Dr. Nancy Rodriguez at
the University of Connecticut,
completing his doctoral degree in
Nutritional Sciences by assessing the
effects of weight loss and dietary
protein intake on human skeletal
muscle protein turnover.
Dr. Pasiakos then accepted a direct
commission as a uniformed officer in
the U.S. Army Medical Service Corps
and served as a post-doctoral
physiologist at USARIEM from 2008 to
2012. During that time, he completed
several studies, including a large-scale,
randomized clinical controlled trial, in
collaboration with scientists from the
United States Department of Agriculture
(USDA), Grand Forks Human Nutrition
Research Center and Eastern Michigan
University, assessing the efficacy of
higher-protein diets on lean mass and
muscle anabolic sustainment during
energy deficit.
Dr. Pasiakos then accepted his current
position as a civilian scientist at
USARIEM, where he conducts complex
multidisciplinary human and animal
studies in collaboration with other
investigators at USARIEM and with
outside government, academic, military,
and industry leaders, to include the
USDA Human Nutrition Research Center
on Aging at Tufts University, University
of Arkansas for Medical Sciences,
Norwegian Defense Research
Establishment, United States Marine
Corps Forces Special Operations
Command, and Kinemed. The goal of
Dr. Pasiakos’ research program at
USARIEM is to identify nutritional
strategies that promote Warfighter
resilience by maintaining skeletal
muscle mass and attenuating the effects
2
of military operational stress on
physiological health and performance.
APRIL JOY STULL, PhD, RD
Assistant Professor of Nutrition and
Diabetes, Pennington Biomedical
Research Center
Dr. Stull is an Assistant Professor in
Nutrition and Diabetes, and also a
Registered Dietitian at Pennington
Biomedical Research Center in Baton
Rouge, LA. Dr. Stull’s research focus is
on botanical dietary supplementation
and its impact on insulin resistance.
Specifically, she found that insulin
sensitivity was improved after
consuming blueberries for 6 weeks in a
population with pre-diabetes, and these
results were published in the Journal of
Nutrition. Dr. Stull has a K01 grant from
NIH National Center for Complementary
and Integrative Health to continue her
blueberry research.
Dr. Stull earned her B.S. in Family and
Consumer Sciences with an emphasis in
nutrition/dietetics from Southern
University A&M College in Baton Rouge,
LA. Also, she received a Ph.D. in
Nutrition Science with a minor in
Gerontology from Purdue University in
West Lafayette, IN under the direction
of Dr. Wayne Campbell. Her graduate
training was followed by a NIH T32
postdoctoral fellowship at Pennington
Biomedical Research Center. During her
fellowship she was honored with the
FASEB Postdoctoral Professional
Development and Enrichment Award.
This prestigious award recognized highly
promising postdoctoral scientists that
demonstrated research productivity.
Dr. Stull is very involved with many
different committees within the
American Society for Nutrition.
Currently, she is the Past-Chair of the
Young Professional Interest Group
(YPIG; Chair, 2013-2012; Chair-Elect,
2012-2011). Also, she serves on the ASN
transition team and science policy
fellowship selection committee. Under
Dr. Stull’s leadership, YPIG’s EB 2014
symposium “Successful Scientist: What’s
The Winning Formula?” was published
in Advances in Nutrition. Dr. Stull is also
a Dannon Institute Nutrition Leadership
Institute Alumni. In her spare time, she
enjoys traveling, scrapbooking, and
spending time with family and friends.

REGAN LUCAS BAILEY, PhD, RD
Nutritional Epidemiologist, Office of
Dietary Supplements, Office of Disease
Prevention, National Institutes of
Health
Bailey’s specific research interests
include: nutritional epidemiology; onecarbon metabolism, particularly the role
of B vitamins; dietary assessment
methods and measurement error;
dietary patterns; dietary supplements;
nutrition screening; and, nutrition and
aging, particularly as it relates to
reducing the risk of cognitive
impairment and osteoporosis. She has
considerable expertise working with the
National Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey.
Dr. Bailey is a member of the American
Society for Nutrition and the Academy
of Nutrition and Dietetics. She is on the
executive board of the Nutrition
Epidemiology Research Interest Section
of the American Society for Nutrition.
She serves as an advisor to the
International Life Sciences InstituteNorth America both on the Fortification
Committee and the Food, Nutrition &
Safety Program.
Regan Lucas Bailey is a Nutritional
Epidemiologist at the Office of Dietary
Supplements, Office of Disease
Prevention at the National Institutes of
Health. Dr. Bailey is the Director of the
annual Mary Frances Picciano Dietary
Supplement Research Practicum and the
Director of Career Development and
Outreach. Dr. Bailey is also an Adjunct
Professor in the Department of Foods
and Nutrition at Purdue University.
Dr. Bailey received her Ph.D. in
Nutrition Science from The Pennsylvania
State University. Her doctoral research,
funded through the National Institute
on Aging, helped to characterize
nutrition risk in rural older adults
through the development of an overall
dietary screening tool. Dr. Bailey is a
registered dietitian who completed a
dietetic internship and M.S. in Food and
Nutrition from the Indiana University of
Pennsylvania.
The overarching goal of her research
program is to prevent or lessen the risk
of chronic disease through nutrition. Dr.

KATHLEEN HILL GALLANT, PhD, RD, CD
Assistant Professor of Nutrition Science
& Director of Didactic Program in
Dietetics, Department of Nutrition
Science, Purdue University
Dr. Kathleen (Katie) Hill Gallant joined
the Purdue Nutrition Science faculty as
an Assistant Professor and the Director
of the Didactic Program in Dietetics in
August of 2014. Dr. Hill Gallant received
her PhD in nutrition from Purdue
University and post-doctoral training in
bone and mineral metabolism at Indiana
University School of Medicine. She also
holds a MS in kinesiology and a BS in
dietetics from the University of North
Dakota, and has been a registered
dietitian for 10 years. At Purdue, she
teaches Medical Nutrition Therapy to
senior dietetics students.
Active in clinical and translational
research, Dr. Hill Gallant’s area of
interest is in bone and mineral
metabolism, with an emphasis on
calcium and phosphorus metabolism in
chronic kidney disease (CKD). CKD
affects approximately 10 % of
Americans and 45 % of those over the
age of 65 years. Abnormal phosphorus
metabolism resulting from loss of
kidney function is a critical factor in
developing CKD-mineral bone disorder
(CKD-MBD), characterized biochemically
by an increase in serum fibroblast
growth factor-23, parathyroid hormone,
and phosphate, and a decreased level of
1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D. Consequences
of CKD-MBD include bone disease and
fracture, vascular calcification and
cardiovascular disease, and ultimately
increased mortality. In addition, serum
phosphate is positively related to
mortality in the non-CKD general
population.
Dr. Hill Gallant’s research program
focuses on elucidating factors that
influence and regulate intestinal
absorption of dietary phosphorus using
human clinical studies and translational
research studies in animal models. The
goal of this work is to develop strategies
to control abnormal phosphorus
metabolism and its consequences in
CKD patients, as well as in the general
population. Dr. Hill Gallant has recently
published on calcium and phosphorus
balance in stage III/IV CKD patients as
well as the effects of calcium carbonate
used as a phosphate binder on calcium
and phosphorus balance in these
patients. Additional research interests
include: nutrition for optimal pediatric
bone acquisition, and effects of obesity
5
and diabetes on bone mass and quality.
In addition to ASN, Dr. Hill Gallant is a
member of the American Society for
Bone and Mineral Research, The
American Society of Nephrology, and
the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
