Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher's work spans two distinct areas: physical activity, nutrition, and behavioral interventions (such as judo programs, remote exercise, and culinary education) for children and young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder, and more recent work on aging, including lysosomal biology in the aging brain and community-based studies of aging populations in Costa Rica. The publications suggest involvement in applied, community-oriented health research as well as some laboratory-based molecular aging studies. Prospective students would be joining a research program with varied outputs across developmental disability health behaviors and aging-related biology.
