My research leverages omics science within a lifecourse epidemiological framework to characterize early-onset metabolic disease risk factors, mechanisms, and biomarkers that can then be translated into primordial prevention strategies. In this talk, I will provide an overview of my training and research interests, followed by a deeper dive into how I merge interdisciplinary disease prevention paradigms to address the awakening youth-onset type 2 diabetes epidemic.
