Bio/Research
Our translational research is foundational to ensuring healthy human development and chronic disease prevention.
We seek to understand developmental trajectories in early life, and how these trajectories are established and modified to influence an individual’s lifelong health resilience or disease risk.
Our research uses an interdisciplinary and systems approach to understand
how suboptimal nutrition and maternal disease states (metabolic and pro-inflammatory) impact development of the placenta, fetus and child
how we can use information from the placenta, gut microbes, developing offspring, and other factors in our early environments, to predict future health
how we can optimise maternal health and early developmental trajectories to reduce the incidence of suboptimal pregnancy outcomes, poor fetal/infant growth, and chronic diseases and disorders in later life
Our research integrates multiple methodologies including molecular biology, histology, and immunology techniques; microbiome analyses; data sciences. Our group leads and participates in multiple pan-Canadian and international research efforts on maternal, pregnancy, and child health.
