Present Research

Collaborative projects:

1. Fetal growth: On-going data analysis: Investigations into the nature of fetal adaptability during growth: Collaborative work with Philippe Jeanty, M.D., Ph.D., Nashville Women’s Center. Follow-up study of adult health with Philippe Jeanty and Philippe Simon, Brussels. Collaborative data analysis with Ira Bernstein, M.D., University of Vermont.

2. Methods in nonlinear data analysis. Development of mathematical models for the identification of pulsatility in growth data. Michael Johnson, Ph.D., Department of Pharmacology, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia.

3. Mechanisms underlying Saltatory growth: Hypothesis testing and generation. Collaboration with Norman Wilsman, Madison, Wisconsin on animal models.

4. Protocol Development: Methods for the identification of hormone patterns in infancy. The specific aim of this line of inquiry is to document patterns of endocrine expression in the perinatal period and early infancy through non-invasive sampling. This is a collaborative effort with Patricia Whitten, Ph.D., Laboratory of Comparative Endocrinology, Emory. We are developing extraction techniques for urine and fecal samples in diapers. The research question to be addressed is “Are there pulsatile patterns in endocrine excretion that correspond to infant growth spurts?, ” part of the larger issue of “What controls growth?”

5. Saltatory Growth: Collaborative projects with Horacio Lejarraga, Buenos Aires.

6. Fetal and infant longitudinal growth collaborative study, McKay Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan.

Additional Ongoing Data Analyses:

Energy estimations for growth requirements: Daily data records documenting dietary intake from a sample of 45 infants are the basis for assessing the relationship between infant growth and the estimated energy costs of growth. Previous estimates are based on continuous models of growth. The aim of this investigation addresses the question, “How much does discontinuous growth cost?”

· Infant immune development: What is the relationship between immune function and growth?

Data collection:

Infant growth, sleep and eating in the context of hormonal development

Maternal decision making and infant feeding: ethnographic interviews and online questionnaire format.

Evidence for growing pains: ethnographic survey, data collection from growing children.
