Biography
Harvard Medical School
Paulette Chandler, MD, MPH is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts. She is a primary care physician at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital, where she is Associate Epidemiologist in the Division of Preventive Medicine. She also has an appointment in the Division of General Internal Medicine and Primary Care. Dr. Chandler received her undergraduate degree from Princeton University, and her medical degree from Duke Medical School. She completed an internal medicine residency at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and a community health fellowship at the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health, where she also obtained a Masters in Public Health (Clinical Effectiveness). She is board certified in internal medicine. Dr. Chandler’s research focuses on understanding the connection between nutrition, novelbiomarkers generated through the “-omics” technology, and cancer prevention. Her current American Cancer Society Mentored Research Scholar Grant in Applied and Clinical Science focuses on uncovering links between nutrition and colorectal cancer risk by using metabolomics to measure a wide profile of circulating small-molecule metabolites to comprehensively evaluate metabolic pathways linked to risk factors that may be more prevalent in those who eat a Western versus Mediterranean diet, with the goal of prompting new therapies and dietary recommendations. Dr. Chandler’s clinical interests include nutrition, cancer and diabetes prevention, and women’s health. She is passionate about educating the public on the power of healthy lifestyle choices for preventing disease and promoting wellness. She is actively involved with several randomized clinical trials and observational studies and serves on the Cancer Endpoints Committee of the VITamin D and OmegA-3 Trial (VITAL) and COcoa Supplement and Multivitamin Outcomes Study(COSMOS) and serves as the Medical/Safety Officer for the COSMOS and the Magnesium and Blood Pressure clinical trial.
