Research Interests

Dr. Stephensen is the Director of the USDA Western Human Research Center (WHNRC).  His research interests focus on the relation between nutritional status and immune function, focusing on vitamin A, vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids. The effect of diet on the gut microbiome as a mediator of the impact of diet on immunity is also a current focus.
