Michele R. Forman's work focuses on nutrition and health across the life course, including maternal and infant nutrition, breastfeeding, childhood growth, food insecurity, and diet-related chronic disease risk such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. Much of the research uses large population studies and cohort data to examine how early-life exposures (like famine, prenatal supplements, or food insecurity) relate to later health outcomes. This work spans multiple countries and populations, often in collaboration with other epidemiologists and nutrition researchers.
