Areas of Expertise

My area of expertise is the assessment of folate status biomarkers of population sub-groups and related data interpretation in diverse research and clinical settings and as a basis for public health policy decisions regarding folate status assessment, intake recommendations and interventions including folic acid supplementation and fortification.

Current Scholarly Endeavors Related to Areas of Expertise

Nutrition International Co-Leader of-Global Project to Evaluate Folate Status in Women of Reproductive Age to Prevent Neural Tube Defects with Funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

• Evaluate and publish folate status data of women of reproductive age as an indicator of neural tube defect risk
