Specifically, she works on understanding the agriculture-nutrition linkages, examining biological determinants of stunting (e.g. aflatoxins and their relationship to growth), diet and other non diet determinants of stunting in infants and young children and testing interventions to improve the protein and micronutrient quality of complementary foods with the aim to improve linear growth. She has worked and published in the realm of understanding the role of protein and specifically amino acids in improving growth and reducing morbidity.
