His work is focused on understanding the metabolic factors linking obesity to increased disease risk during growth and development and using this information as a basis for developing new clinical, behavioral, and community approaches for prevention, treatment, and risk reduction. He is also especially interested in ethnic disparities in obesity and obesity-related diseases, including type 2 diabetes and fatty liver disease, with a special interest on the effects of dietary sugar on obesity and metabolic diseases among Hispanic populations.

Specifically, her prospective research studies assess metabolic changes across the pregnancy and lactation continuum in relation to progression to type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease in women during and beyond the childbearing years. These studies develop models for future prediction of diabetes and cardiovascular disease, with a focus on high-risk women with gestational diabetes mellitus and hypertensive dis orders of pregnancy.

A second aspect of her research focuses on early-life adverse events, stress and nonhomeostatic eating behaviors, and how these lead to dietary intake and metabolic dysregulation.

Her research focuses on the influence of nutrition and other modifiable factors during pregnancy and early childhood on long-term maternal and child health, especially cardiometabolic health and cognitive development. She has also led a number of studies examining predictors and sequelae of maternal overweight, weight gain, and related conditions such as gestational diabetes mellitus in the peripartum period.

Her program of research has led to: mining and analyzing large national datasets, using findings to raise awareness and thereby improve population health, promoting health literacy through increased consumer understanding and safety surrounding energy beverage product labeling, reducing preventable harm by identifying product ingredient and medication risks and disseminating this evidence to the public and clinicians, building health policy competency, and influencing nurses to advocate for consumer safety.
