Major Responsibilities/Research Interests
My research program centers on the effect of nutrition on the immune system. Current areas of research are the role of polyunsaturated fats on the development of the infant’s immune system, the use of specific fatty acids in the prevention and treatment of breast cancer and identifying the association between nutritional status and maternal mental health and the neuro-physical development of infants.
