As a physician scientist, Katherine Hartmann, MD, PhD, has years of expertise with research involving large community-recruited cohorts, behavioral interventions and clinical trials.
The reach of the University of Kentucky and its interdisciplinary efforts to address pressing health questions are what drew her to the CCTS. Hartmann sees her role as championing ways to accelerate science and expand discoveries to new therapeutics, better clinical care, and prevention.
"I believe UK really has it all.”

Ketrell L. McWhorter, PhD, MBA, ACE-CPT, ACE-FNS, assistant professor of epidemiology and environmental health in the UK College of Public Health, has been awarded a Diversity Supplement Grant from National Center for Advancing Translational Science (NCATS).
The award supports her project “Impact of co-exposures on Pediatric Obesity and Sleep in Appalachian Children,” which seeks to disentangle the complex relationship between children’s exposure to second-hand smoke and air pollution, its impact on their sleep, and how these factors influence body weight and cardiometabolic outcomes.
