Major research topics include normal and abnormal growth and development, extremely low birth weight infants, micronutrients, substrate and energy metabolism, obesity, diabetes prevention, tissue transplants, immunology, cystic fibrosis and other pulmonary diseases, fragile X syndrome, polycystic kidney disease, chronic hepatic and gastrointestinal disease, blood coagulation defects, adolescent pregnancy and HIV infection.
