Major Responsibilities/Research Interests 

I am retired, but remain part of a team of researchers with strong interest in the role of nutrition in promoting health and preventing and treating diabetes and its complications. My research program integrates applied, clinical and basic research. Much of my work is conducted within the paradigm of the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD), examining the role of nutritional intake during sensitive periods of development on health, specifically diabetes risk, in mothers and their offspring. 

I am an ongoing member of the Women and Children's Health Research Institute (WCHRI), and am part of several important studies in the DOHaD area, including the Health Life Trajectories Initiatives-Canada study (HeLTI-Canada) and the Indigenous Healthy Life Trajectories Initiative (I-HeLTI).
