Professional Interests : My research interests focus on diet, physical activity and body size factors, their influence on the process of growth and maturation, and implications for
health and disease. My work focuses on periods of rapid growth, including
pregnancy, infancy, and adolescence. Research areas include the role of
breast-feeding in maturation and growth, and the importance of variability
of body size in different population groups for risk of disease. I especially focus on diverse understudied populations. I seek systems change to political, economic, social and biologic factors to improve nutrition and health.
