Biography
My multidisciplinary training in clinical nutrition, epidemiology and biological sciences has primed me to develop a research program which envisions a life course approach and aims broadly to explore the role of nutrition on women’s health. I have divided my research program into three main areas: 1) placental function as a determinant of developmental programming; 2) nutritional epidemiology; and 3) menopause & diabetes risk.
