| Studies focus on the epidemiology of pregnancy outcomes (i.e., how maternal nutritional status relates to fetal and infant survival and health) and the short- and long-term consequences of poor prenatal and postnatal growth and development. Investigators are exploring new research into the fetal origins of adult-onset diseases and nutritional and environmental factors influencing fetal and child neurobehavioral development. Current research is underway in Bangladesh, India, Mexico, Nepal, Peru, the United States, Zanzibar, and Zimbabwe. | |
