Profile
Dr. Joanna Fiddler is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Food, Nutrition & Packaging Sciences at Clemson University. She earned her Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in Nutritional Sciences and Health & Human Performance (exercise physiology concentration) before pursuing a PhD in Nutritional Sciences investigating iron metabolism at Oklahoma State University. She went on to study the role of B vitamin-gene interactions in mitochondrial de novo thymidylate biosynthesis and the effect of moderate iron deficiency on metabolic pathways that influence work capacity during her postdoctoral training at Cornell University in the labs of Dr. Martha Field and Professor Jere Haas. She joined the faculty at Clemson in 2023. Her work focuses on micronutrient nutrition and metabolism and studying their integration in health and disease.
