Metabolic Programming group

Our objective is to develop nutritional and non-nutritional concepts to promote lifelong cardiometabolic health focusing on:

•       Short term: adequate neonatal birth weight, infant/toddler growth & body composition, metabolic state

•       Long term: future metabolic health of mothers and babies

•       Breast milk/breastfeeding support for adequate infant growth and lifelong metabolic health

Our expertise are: maternal and infant nutrition and physiology, human milk physiology, genetic and nutrition epidemiology, epigenetics and animal physiology with a focus on metabolic health & glucose homeostasis
