Dr. Jessica G. Woo is an epidemiologist who conducts research related to childhood obesity and nutrition, and their long-term impact on cardiometabolic health into adulthood. She is also interested in early-life exposures occurring during pregnancy and breastfeeding that may help establish developmental trajectories into childhood and beyond. Her significant expertise in how children develop relative to growth charting is related to her goal to understand whether there are critical periods in early life or key aspects of developmental exposures that may prevent future obesity and cardiometabolic diseases.
