Biography, Education and Training

I conduct evidence-based and policy-relevant research to advance programs that promote nutrition and environmental justice in low-resource settings. Using a Developmental Origins of Health and Disease framework, my research focuses on the role of the exposome in the biological embedding of childhood adversity. Major areas of my research include early childhood nutrition, water, sanitation, and hygiene interventions, environmental enteric dysfunction, infectious diseases, stress physiology, immune function, telomere biology, child growth and development, and gender-based violence. I use large-scale impact evaluations and other empirical approaches to understand biological pathways leading to healthy trajectories across the life course.
