Janet and Gordon Lankton Professor
Cornell University
Ithaca, New York, United States
I am a physician with training and expertise in nutrition, infectious disease, epidemiology, and diagnostics. I am faculty member in the Division of Nutritional Sciences, Cornell University and serve on its executive leadership team. Additionally, I also serve as the Director of the Program in International Nutrition and the Founding Co-Director of the Center for Precision Nutrition and Health. I also co-lead the NIH Nutrition for Precision Health Research Coordinating Center. The central theme of my research is the interplay between nutrition and disease, including facilitating field-friendly assessment for both, and elucidating how nutrition can be used as a modifiable risk factor for improving health and associated outcomes, often in the context of pregnancy and early childhood. This is achieved through a combination of active surveillance programs, invention of point-of-care diagnostics and randomized controlled trials primarily in resource-limited settings in India, Sub-Saharan Africa, and South America. My research program is supported by funding from the NIH, National Science Foundation, USDA, USAID, World Health Organization, and the Department of Defense among others.
