My research focuses on inequalities in maternal and child health and early life risk factors for chronic disease globally. I am currently researching integrated programmes for nurturing care in infants (Kenya), drivers of food choice (Kenya and Ghana), challenges in the pregnancy care pathway (India), interventions to support double duty actions for infant nutrition (Peru), food security among the urban poor (Kenya) and challenges presented in providing health services in the face of extreme climate change (Ghana). I also held a British Academy mid-career fellowship focused on understanding the role of changing socio-economic circumstances over the early lifecourse and relationships of these with health outcomes in adolescents in South Africa.
