Summary
Some diseases are becoming more common over time.The increase over time is too rapid to be due to genetics alone. My research program aims to identify the environmental drivers of these diseases so that we can improve the current efforts to stop these diseases before they even begin. The research program has a focus on factors impacting on how a child's brain develops, how food allergy begins and the factors that can prevent multiple sclerosis onset or slow progression.
