Dr. Christine McGrath, MPH, PhD, received her PhD from the Department of Epidemiology in May 2011. Her primary research is focused on growth and nutrition in pediatric HIV-1 infection in Kenya.\u00a0 More specifically, her dissertation project determined growth patterns and defined cofactors that influence growth and growth failure in children infected with HIV-1. She is interested in the pathogenesis of growth faltering in HIV-1-infected children and the role of infant feeding, age-based preventative targeting of HAART initiation and nutritional supplementation on growth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
