Summary
My research focuses on maternal and child health. Specifically, I am interesting in exposures and outcomes related to pregnancy. My dissertation will focus on maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and gestational weight gain (GWG) and how these affect a child’s risk for developing asthma.
