I am an epidemiologist and Assistant Professor in the Department of Population Medicine at Harvard Medical School. My research focuses on the developmental origins of health and disease, exploring the early stages of the lifecourse and their impact on chronic diseases like obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. I have authored over 170 peer-reviewed publications in prestigious journals and received multiple awards for my contributions to the field.
