I am passionate about supporting early brain development to give all children the best start to life. This stems from my curiosity about the brain, and my undergraduate major in public health where ethos is prevention is the best cure. I am also enthusiastic about nutrition, and the concept that food can be your medicine.

I oversee several  large randomised controlled trials and observational studies that track influences of brain development, such as nutrition, on childhood cognitive, language and behavioural development.
