Adriana Coletta, PhD, Assistant Professor at Huntsman Cancer Institute, is passionate about integrating exercise and nutrition interventions into cancer care. Dr. Coletta envisions Huntsman Cancer Institute as a national model for cancer rehabilitation, using innovative strategies such as exercise oncology to provide holistic care and improve quality of life. Her journey from dietetics to cancer care provides her a unique opportunity to merge exercise and nutrition interventions with cancer treatment. Currently, she is working on a clinical trial with metastatic prostate cancers, where she enjoys the chance to truly connect with patients and survivors. Outside of her position at HCI, Dr. Coletta also highlights her Italian heritage, love for cooking and exercise, and hidden talent as a violinist.
