My clinical and research interests are in fetal and neonatal growth and nutrition. Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a common complication of pregnancy. Individuals with IUGR are not only at increased risk for morbidity and mortality in the perinatal period but are also at increased risk of developing metabolic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, in adulthood. My long term research goals are to understand the factors, such as hormones and nutrients, that regulate fetal growth and to understand how the fetus adapts to abnormal nutrient availability. This knowledge is essential in order to develop strategies to mitigate abnormal fetal growth patterns and improve lifelong metabolic health. My NORC pilot project aims to understand how insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and insulin, which are two critical fetal growth hormones that are known to be low in the IUGR fetus, work together to coordinate fetal nutrient availability to support fetal growth and protein accretion.
