LYNN B. BAILEY, Ph.D. is a professor of nutrition in the University of Florida's Food Science and Human Nutrition Department. Before joining the faculty in 1977, Dr. Bailey completed her Ph.D. and postdoctoral training at Purdue University in the area of human nutrient requirements. Her research has focused on the estimation of folate requirements and the evaluation of folate status in different life stages, including adolescence, young adulthood, preg- nancy, and postmenopause. She was the editor of the book Folate in Health and Disease. She has served on numerous expert scientific panels, including the Food and Drug Administration's Folic Acid Subcommittee, which addressed the fortification of cereal grain products with folio acid in an effort to reduce the risk of neural tube defects. Dr. Bailey was the recipient of a national U.S. Depart- ment of Agriculture Award for Superior Service for her research accomplish- ments related to estimating folate requirements. Dr. Bailey previously served on the FNB/IOM Panel on Dietary Reference Intakes for Folate, Other B Vitamins, and Choline.

The primary focus of her
APPENDIXB 87 research is in the area of nutrition and cancer prevention. She directed a large cancer prevention clinical trial to determine whether supplemental p-carotene reduces the incidence of mouth and throat cancer. Additionally, she participated in the working group on carotenoids and cancer of the International Agency for Research on Cancer. She is a member of the Executive Committee of the Inter- national Carotenoid Society and the Steering Committee of the Carotenoid/ Vitamin A Research Interaction Group (CARIG), and cochaired the CARIG Annual Conference at the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology in 1996 and 2001.
