Erika R. Cheng studies maternal and child health, with a strong focus on preventing childhood obesity and understanding how social conditions—such as food insecurity and social risk factors—shape early growth and development. Her work spans the earliest stages of life (often the 'first 1,000 days' from pregnancy through toddlerhood) and includes designing and evaluating health interventions, using data and machine learning to predict outcomes like body mass index, and examining health equity and policy issues.
