Before becoming a faculty, she completed a Bachelor\u2019s degree in Nursing at Florida International University, Master\u2019s and Doctoral degrees in Nursing at the University of South Florida, and a post-doctoral fellowship at UF focused on mental health research with and for underrepresented populations (e.g., Latino\/Haitian immigrant farmworkers, rural Latino\/LGBTQ+ adolescents) using a community-based participatory research approach and social network analysis. She teaches and engages in multidisciplinary mixed-methods research dedicated to advancing the science and practice of reducing mental health disparities among minoritized immigrants by&nbsp;exploring the underlying biobehavioral, cultural, and psychosocial mechanisms of&nbsp;distress symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>With support from an NIH K23 career development award, she is now incorporating microbial metagenomics and bioinformatics methods in her research by examining the associations between post-migration social determinants of health, gut microbiome, and psychological distress among recent Haitian immigrants. The long-term goal of her interdisciplinary translational program of research is to identify and address the conditions that create and sustain health disparities in minoritized&nbsp;populations as well as develop and test culturally responsive interventions that target&nbsp;social, behavioral, and biological determinants of health to improve long-term health&nbsp;outcomes, reduce behavioral and mental health disparities, and increase health equity.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sueishaqlab.org\/microbes-and-social-equity-working-group\/mse-speaker-series-spring-2023\/\">Read more about the Microbe Series speakers.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/maine.zoom.us\/meeting\/register\/tZ0sc-GhrDIuG92eDFcgPkdVATqsQcisgfv5\">Register for this session<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker:&nbsp;Dr. Dany Fanfan, Ph.D., MSN, RN About the Speaker: Dr. Dany Fanfan is an Assistant Professor at the University of Florida (UF) College of Nursing.
