Research Overview
My research focuses on maternal nutrition and developmental programming. A growing body of literature suggests a link between early nutrition and later disease risk. To optimize the infant health and growth as well as lower the risk of chronic disease, it is pertinent to investigate the role of early nutrition and explore potential intervening strategies.
