William L. Lowe

William L. Lowe studies how conditions during pregnancy, such as high blood sugar (gestational diabetes) and maternal weight, affect the health of mothers and their children, including birth weight and later childhood risk of obesity and metabolic problems. His work combines large cohort studies with genetic and epigenetic (DNA methylation) analyses to understand these links across different ancestries and populations. Prospective students would likely engage with large-scale, multi-site pregnancy and childhood health datasets involving genetics, epigenetics, and clinical outcomes.

Publication output dipped in the mid-2010s to early 2020s but has grown again since 2023, remaining fairly active with an average of about 20 papers per year over the last five years.
