Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

My research examines how local environments shape host biology through sensitive periods of early development, with a special focus on the microbiome. My work particularly focuses on how urbanization, nutrition transitions, and other globalized processes affect maternal and child health, maternal and child microbiomes, and non-communicable disease. I have worked in Argentina with the Chaco Area Reproductive Ecology Project, in Samoa with the Samoan Obesity, Lifestyle, and Genetic Adaptations Project, and currently work with the NSF-funded Ecoculturing the Infant Gut Microbiome Project in Brazil as a President's Postdoctoral Scholar at OSU.
