I work in the research field of paediatric and international nutrition. One of my main interests is gastrointestinal health of malnourished children covering research on diarrhoea, gut microbiota, gut function, gut immunity and probiotics. Composition of food products to prevent or treat malnutrition is also of interest. This involves investigating the role of milk components and other important nutritional factors to support healthy growth and development of children.
