Nick Foreman
Human Physiologist and NIH Intramural Postdoctoral Fellow
Welcome! I’m Nick Foreman, a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Diabetes, Obesity, and Endocrinology branch of NIDDK. I am a human physiologist with formal training in exercise physiology and nutrition, with an emphasis on postprandial metabolism. My doctoral work examined the impact of high-fat overfeeding on the postprandial metabolic and cardiovascular response, as well as the role of exercise in protecting against the adverse effects of high-fat overfeeding. You can find more details on this study and my other ongoing projects here. My postdoctoral research will focus on translating my previous high-fat overfeeding work to people with type 2 diabetes using advanced metabolic techniques (isotope tracers, whole-room calorimetry, etc.). I have a PhD in Exercise Physiology and Applied Nutrition from George Washington University. Prior to my PhD, I also completed a Masters degree in Kinesiology and a Bachelors degree in Human Physiology, both from the University of Minnesota.
Outside of research, I enjoy running, baking, and cheering for the Minnesota Vikings. I currently live in Washington, DC with my partner Emily and our two gray cats. Everything on this website is my own and does not reflect the opinions of the NIH.
